Peppol mandatory from 2026 VLAIO confirms: **from 1 January 2026, Belgian VAT-liable businesses must use structured electronic invoices for B2B transactions**. A PDF invoice sent by email is no longer sufficient. This has three concrete consequences for your business: - All B2B invoices must be sent in a **structured format** (Peppol UBL) - A client's email address is **no longer a valid delivery address** for an invoice - You must also be able to **process structured e-invoices** as a recipient The Belgian government has designated Peppol as the standard network. Businesses that switch now benefit from a smooth transition before the mandate kicks in — clients and suppliers become familiar with the system gradually. Is your invoicing software already Peppol-ready? Bizzey is a certified Peppol access point — you are ready for 2026 without any extra steps. [Try for free →](https://app.bizzey.com/sign_up) ## 2. Who does the obligation apply to? The mandatory e-invoicing obligation applies to all **Belgian VAT-liable businesses** that exchange invoices with other Belgian VAT-liable businesses. **The obligation applies to:** - SMEs with a Belgian VAT number - Freelancers (sole traders, liberal professions) with a Belgian VAT number - Large enterprises and associations subject to VAT **The obligation does not apply to:** - B2C transactions (invoices to private individuals) — for now - Businesses using the VAT exemption scheme (art. 56bis) — for now **Is the exemption permanent?** No — experts expect the exemption for small businesses to be phased out in a later stage.
