What every entrepreneur needs to know about the Peppol obligation from January 1, 2026
WHAT IS PEPPOL?
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is a standardized and secure network for electronic invoicing. It was originally developed to simplify cross-border government procurement, but is now also used for B2B transactions. Peppol enables companies to exchange electronic invoices smoothly and securely in accordance with European standards.
WHY IS PEPPOL BECOMING MANDATORY IN BELGIUM?
The Belgian government wants to accelerate the transition to e-invoicing in order to reduce administrative burdens, combat fraud and make invoice processing more efficient. Following the mandatory introduction of e-invoicing for B2G (Business-to-Government) in 2024, Peppol will also become the standard for B2B transactions from 2026.
What does this mean for your company?
- Mandatory e-invoicing: From 2026, you must send and receive all invoices electronically via Peppol.
- Adapted invoicing processes: You must use a Peppol access point or have your ERP/invoicing software connected to the network.
- Faster and more secure payments: Thanks to standardization and automatic processing, invoicing is more efficient and with fewer errors.
