Structured electronic invoices between companies will become compulsory as from 2026

As from 1 January 2026, all Belgian enterprises liable to VAT will have to use structured electronic invoices in their transactions with each other. These invoices are exchanged directly between the two enterprises' software systems. Sending a PDF invoice by e-mail or via a platform will no longer be enough.

You have a valid VAT number? In this case, this obligation also applies to your enterprise.

Do you only work for private clients? This obligation does not apply to invoices sent to these individuals. But be careful: you need to be able to receive structured electronic invoices from your suppliers. You must therefore adapt your systems in this regard by January 2026.
