Belgium has mandated electronic invoicing for VAT‑registered organisations since 1 January, making it the first EU member state to do so. However, widespread technical problems with the Peppol platform and accounting software have caused invoices to be lost, duplicated or delayed, threatening to miss the 25 January VAT‑return deadline.
