Prepare for Belgium’s mandatory B2B e-invoicing rollout
Belgium’s e‑invoicing mandate went live on 1 January 2026, requiring Belgian-established VAT taxpayers to issue and receive structured electronic invoices for domestic B2B transactions. The next major milestone is January 2028, when Belgium is expected to introduce near real-time e‑reporting to tax authorities.
What will change in Belgium
Belgium’s e‑invoicing model is built around PEPPOL and European e‑invoicing standards.
- Structured electronic invoices are mandatory for domestic B2B transactions from 1 January 2026, replacing PDFs and paper invoices for in-scope transactions
- PEPPOL BIS and EN16931 are the default standards for invoice exchange, with businesses required to be capable of issuing and receiving compliant e‑invoices
- Belgium plans to introduce near real-time e‑reporting from January 2028, leveraging the same PEPPOL infrastructure to support future VAT reporting requirements
The mandate is part of Belgium’s broader strategy to improve VAT transparency, reduce fraud, and align with upcoming EU ViDA requirements.
