From January 1, 2026<\/strong>, structured electronic invoicing will be mandatory<\/strong> for Belgian companies in B2B<\/strong> relations (between VAT taxable persons).<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

\ud83d\udd27 What this means:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • You’ll need to use Peppol-compatible billing software<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Invoices must be sent in a structured format<\/strong>, automatically readable by accounting software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • PDFs or paper mailings will no longer be valid<\/strong> for B2B customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    \ud83d\udce4 In practice :<\/h3>\n\n
      \n
    • You register with Peppol<\/strong> via a software application, which assigns you a unique ID<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Your B2B customers must also be registered on Peppol.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • No need to exchange invoices by e-mail: everything goes through the network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      \ud83d\udc65 For B2C customers<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n
        \n
      • Structured electronic invoicing is not mandatory<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • You can continue to send PDFs<\/strong> (via the same software).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        \ud83c\udf0d For foreign<\/strong> customers (outside Belgium)<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n
          \n
        • The obligation only begins in 2030<\/strong> \u2192 PDF still permitted until then.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          \u2139\ufe0f Even small businesses<\/strong> (special VAT regime) must invoice electronically, except those exempted under article 44 CTVA<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n\n

          \ud83d\udce9 Even without B2B customers?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
            \n
          • You still need to be registered with Peppol to receive invoices from your suppliers<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
            \n\n

            \ud83d\udcb0 Tax benefits :<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
              \n
            • Expenses related to electronic invoicing (subscription, installation, training, etc.) are 120% deductible<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Period:<\/strong> income years 2024 to 2027 inclusive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Software that can be amortized does not benefit from this deduction, but rather from an investment allowance increased by 20%<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
              \n\n

              \u2705 In a nutshell:<\/h3>\n\n
                \n
              • Peppol invoicing mandatory for B2B from 2026<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • PDF still possible in B2C and abroad until 2030.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Reinforced tax deduction<\/strong> to ease the transition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
