- B2B and B2G e-Invoicing: Business-to-Business (B2B) e-Invoicing enables digital invoice transmission between companies, enhancing transaction speed and accuracy, while Business-to-Government (B2G) e-Invoicing is mandatory for government contracts, streamlining public administration and promoting transparency in procurement processes.
- Mandatory Implementation Timeline: e-Invoicing will become mandatory in Belgium for all domestic B2B transactions starting January 1, 2026, with current obligations already in place for suppliers involved in B2G contracts.
- Requirements and Compliance: To qualify as an e-Invoice, it must include traditional invoice details and comply with national regulations and European standards. Businesses must adopt compliant e-Invoicing software to generate and manage invoices effectively.
- Benefits and Penalties: e-Invoicing offers advantages such as enhanced efficiency and reduced operational costs, benefiting businesses of all sizes. Non-compliance can lead to significant penalties, including fines proportional to the VAT due for serious infractions and fixed penalties for general non-compliance.
