- Introduction of Mandatory E-Invoicing and Real-Time Reporting: Belgium will implement mandatory e-Invoicing for B2B transactions starting January 1, 2026, and near real-time e-Reporting by 2028. These measures aim to improve tax compliance, accuracy, and efficiency while combating VAT fraud through timely data transmission to tax authorities.
- Alignment with European Initiatives and the Peppol 5-Corner Model: By adopting the Peppol 5-Corner Model, Belgium is joining a broader European movement towards continuous transaction controls (CTC) in e-Invoicing. This model facilitates standardized invoice exchanges, enhancing interoperability and compliance for businesses.
- Integration of Financial Systems for Enhanced Tax Transparency: Belgium plans to integrate cash registers, payment systems, and invoicing software to automatically transmit VAT-related data to tax authorities, enabling more effective data mining and audits. Businesses are encouraged to prepare for these changes by upgrading their systems and ensuring compliance with new regulations.
