Belgium and France: Leading the Path to Europe’s Future E-Invoicing Landscape
Mandatory electronic invoicing for B2B transactions
Starting January 1, 2026, the Belgian government will require electronic invoicing for B2B transactions. Likewise, by the end of 2026, France will enforce mandatory e-invoicing and e-reporting. This initiative aligns with the forthcoming ViDA directive, which aims to standardize e-invoicing across the EU.
The European Commission aims to update and streamline VAT systems to better align with modern business practices through digital technology, automation, and standardization. Additionally, by mandating electronic invoicing, they intend to tackle challenges faced by all EU member states, such as revenue loss due to errors, fraud, and inefficient collection.
