From March 2024, all B2G transactions in Belgium must be handled via e-invoicing. Additionally, a recently approved project mandates that business-to-business (B2B) electronic invoicing will be required starting from 1 January 2026. Below is what these regulations entail:
Invoice format
The Belgian government has chosen the PEPPOL BIS (UBL format) as the standard for receiving e-invoices.
Invoice Archiving
Based on the Belgian laws, it’s a must to keep your e-invoices archived for up to 7 years.
Mercurius Portal & Hermes
Belgium offers two options for those without Peppol.
1. Mercurius, a “mailroom” for exchanging eProcurement documents.
2. The Hermes platform that allows to receive e-invoices from all across Europe.
Send & Receive E-invoices in Belgium
Following the new regulations, the issuing and receiving of e-invoices in Belgium can be done manually using the Mercurius portal, or the process can be automated and handled in bulk through a software provider with a Peppol Access Point.
