- The Royal Decree of July 8, 2025, establishes the regulatory framework for structured electronic invoicing in Belgium, effective January 1, 2026. Businesses identified for VAT in Belgium must use the Peppol network for B2B electronic invoices. Key points include new rounding rules, the Peppol BIS format as the standard, and mandatory transmission via Peppol. Non-compliance may result in fines: €1,500 for the first offense, €3,000 for the second, and €5,000 for subsequent offenses. Businesses are urged to update their invoicing systems to comply with these requirements.
