Belgium has announced that from 2027 the Federal Public Service Finance will take over the role of Belgian Peppol Authority, replacing FPS BOSA. Structured electronic invoicing has been mandatory for almost all domestic B2B transactions between Belgian VAT-liable businesses since 1 January 2026, requiring exchange via the Peppol network in Peppol BIS format unless another EN 16931-compliant format is agreed. The transfer of the Peppol Authority role is linked to Belgium’s future e-reporting plans involving continuous transaction controls.
