The use of electronic invoices in Belgium was adopted in 2013, at which time the government declared e-Invoices had the same validity as paper invoices.
In the public sector, it is mandatory for all federal and central administrations to receive e-Invoices. This obligation applies to suppliers of such public entities in several regions (Brussels, Flanders, Wallonia). Now, the obligation to issue e-Invoices has been extended to all suppliers of public administrations.
The Belgian Finance Minister has unveiled a series of measures for a tax reform in the country, including the mandatory use of B2B electronic invoicing and electronic VAT reporting.
