Belgium introducing near real-time e-reporting from 2028

Belgium is taking concrete steps toward real-time VAT compliance by introducing an e-reporting mandate from 2028. This requirement follows the previously mandated B2B e-invoicing, which will take effect in January 2026. Now is the time for businesses to evaluate their e-invoicing solution to ensure it will comply with the upcoming local mandates - so, keep on reading! 

Peppol 5-corner model at the core of e-reporting 

Belgium confirmed that it will introduce near real-time B2B domestic transaction reporting - e-reporting -, starting in January 2028, further strengthening Belgium's commitment to combating VAT fraud and simplifying compliance in line with the ViDA initiative.

The 2026 e-invoicing mandate will initially be based on the Peppol 4-corner model. With the e-reporting mandate, Belgium is aiming to transition to a 5-corner model by adding the Belgian tax authority. This change will enable near real-time e-reporting of transaction data based on e-invoices. It’ll replace the annual customer listing report and is intended to reduce the VAT gap.
