From Jan. 1, 2026, e-invoicing will become mandatory for B2B transactions in Belgium. This new law, approved by the federal parliament in early 2024, puts an end to the use of PDF and paper invoices between companies subject to VAT.
With Billtobox , you are already legally compliant! You send and receive structured electronic invoices (UBL) via the Peppol network, fully compliant with the legislation. Ideal for SMEs who want to digitize their administration and prepare for the new rules in good time.
An electronic invoice, also known as an e-invoice or e-invoice, is an invoice in a structured electronic format. Attention, an invoice sent in PDF by mail may be a digital invoice, but it is not an electronic invoice!
An e-invoice is not sent by mail or post but via a network such as Peppol.
An e-invoice has many advantages! The Federal Public Service BOSA calculated that Belgian companies could save up to 3.6 billion euros by mandatory e-invoicing.
E-invoices can be processed faster by the recipient, which means you as a supplier get paid faster.
The Belgian government has chosen the Peppol network for electronic invoicing. "Peppol" stands for "Pan European Open Procurement OnLine" and it is a set of specifications for e-invoicing. Many countries in Europe use this network, but not all. Countries such as France (PDP), Italy (SDI), Poland (KSeF) use other standards.
Registration on the Peppol network is free with Billtobox. Once you have created a Billtobox, you can easily register by clicking the button below.
