For Belgium
E-invoicing means that invoices are sent and received electronically in a structured digital format via the Peppol network. For Belgian B2B invoices, e-invoicing is legally required. The invoice is not sent as a PDF by email, but is delivered directly into your accounting or ERP system.
Good to know:
- An e-invoice is not a PDF, but structured data (such as UBL/XML).
- The invoice can be processed automatically in your administration.
- Delivery takes place via the secure Peppol network.
E-invoicing reduces errors, speeds up processing and complies with Belgian legislation.
