Accounting and tax guides

Since 1 January 2026, the first question to ask of accounting software in Belgium is no longer its price but its ability to issue and receive invoices over the Peppol network. The Belgian market splits into three families that are often confused: practice software, accounting and invoicing solutions for SMEs, and the exchange components that feed the first two. The right choice depends first of all on who keeps your books.

Yes. Since 1 January 2026, every VAT-registered business established in Belgium must issue and receive structured electronic invoices for its B2B transactions with other Belgian taxable persons, over the Peppol network. The tolerance period covering the first three months of 2026 ended in April 2026. Certain categories remain outside the scope, notably taxable persons exempt under article 44 of the VAT Code.
