- Mandatory E-Invoicing Timeline: Belgium will implement mandatory B2B e-invoicing starting January 1, 2026, requiring all VAT-taxable entities to issue structured invoices via the Peppol network, with a transition to near-real-time e-reporting planned for January 2028.
- Preparation and Compliance Strategies: Companies must audit their invoicing processes, adopt appropriate technology that supports Peppol standards, train relevant teams, collaborate with certified providers, and conduct early testing to ensure compliance and mitigate disruptions before the mandates take effect.
- Implications for International Businesses: American and Canadian companies with operations in Belgium must adhere to local e-invoicing regulations, emphasizing the need for global tracking of mandates, system evaluations for Peppol compatibility, and integration of invoicing processes to comply with the impending changes.
