Transitioning to Peppol: Preparing for the future

19-05-2025

As of 1 January 2026, structured electronic invoicing will be mandatory for nearly all transactions between businesses in Belgium. From that date, all VAT-registered businesses must send and receive electronic invoices via the Peppol network.

Why is Peppol becoming mandatory?

The Belgian government has several reasons for mandating Peppol:

  • By requiring Peppol across the entire B2B sector, the government aims to combat phishing, data theft, and VAT fraud.
  • Peppol simplifies administrative processes by providing a uniform solution used throughout the European Union and beyond.
  • It facilitates communication and data exchange between businesses, even across borders.

Peppol also offers advantages for your business: reduced costs through less manual work, fewer errors, faster payments, lower shipping costs, and more efficient document management.

What if you don't transition to Peppol?

If, after 1 January 2026, you continue to send paper or non-standardized digital invoices, you risk non-compliant invoicing and potential fines. Therefore, it is crucial to transition to Peppol in a timely manner to avoid legal and financial risks.

Should you start with Peppol now?

Although 2026 may seem distant, the mandatory implementation is approaching quickly. By transitioning now, you will be well-prepared. Additionally, you will immediately benefit from cost savings, faster payments, and more efficient administration.
