What's the e-invoicing with Peppol?
Starting from January 1, 2026, the Belgian government will require businesses to send and receive all invoices electronically via the Peppol network. This new measure will apply to all businesses with a Belgian VAT number. Do you have a foreign VAT number? In this case, electronic invoicing is not mandatory.

What is an electronic invoice?
An electronic invoice is an invoice issued in a legally predetermined format. This ensures that invoices in this format can be sent automatically via Peppol. Upon receipt, an electronic invoice can be immediately read and processed by compatible invoicing software on your computer.
Important
Invoices shared as PDF documents are not considered electronic invoices.
What is Peppol?
