- Over 21% of Belgian businesses with a VAT number (about 940,604 out of 1.19 million) are not registered with the mandatory Peppol digital invoicing system.
- The deadline to register was January 1, but a three-month grace period is in place.
- Some small businesses mistakenly believe they are exempt, but all with a VAT number must use Peppol.
- Barriers include registration costs, the digital divide, and lack of clear government communication.
- Experts criticize the government for not proactively informing businesses about the requirement, leading to confusion.
