- Belgium and Poland have both implemented significant e-invoicing mandates, with Belgium using a decentralized Peppol network for B2B invoicing since January 1, 2026, while Poland has launched the KSeF central government gateway for large companies as of February 1, 2026, expanding to all VAT-registered companies by April 1, 2026.
- The two countries represent fundamentally different approaches to e-invoicing: Belgium’s model allows for supplier and customer exchanges through certified Access Points without government involvement in transactions, whereas Poland’s model requires all invoices to pass through a government gateway for validation, imposing distinct technical requirements and compliance paths.
- Despite the European Commission’s goal for harmonization through initiatives like ViDA by 2030, the current landscape shows increasing fragmentation, as member states implement their mandates independently, resulting in a complex and uncoordinated environment for businesses operating across borders that must navigate varying e-invoicing solutions.
