What is Peppol?

Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is a European network for exchanging structured electronic documents — primarily invoices. Originally designed for public procurement, it has now been extended in Belgium to all B2B transactions between VAT-registered companies.

Instead of a PDF sent by email (which the recipient must process manually), a Peppol invoice is a structured XML file that any accounting software can read and process automatically. No manual data entry on either side. Faster processing, fewer errors, and no dispute over which version is authoritative.

Belgium is the first country in the world to have made B2B e-invoicing via Peppol mandatory for ALL businesses simultaneously — from the sole-trader plumber to the large general contractor. There is no phased introduction by company size as in Germany or France. Every Belgian VAT-registered business that invoices B2B was required to comply from 1 January 2026. Furthermore, you can only claim VAT deduction on incoming invoices if you receive a valid Peppol invoice or an EN 16931-compliant Factur-X — a plain PDF is no longer legally sufficient.
