E-Invoicing in Belgium with Zoho Billing

E-Invoicing in Belgium with Zoho Billing

Starting January 1, 2026, Belgium is introducing mandatory electronic invoices (e-invoicing) for all B2B transactions between VAT-registered businesses. Invoices and credits notes must be exchanged in a prescribed digital format.

How E-Invoicing works   

Belgium's e-invoicing system runs through the Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) network, a secure digital framework that allows businesses to exchange invoices and credit notes electronically through certified Access Points.


Every transaction sent through Peppol follows the EN 16931 structure and is formatted according to Peppol BIS 3.0 (UBL), a standardised XML layout. Once validated, the network facilitates the document transmission from the seller's access point to the buyer's access point.

Products Supported  

E-Invoicing will be supported in Zoho Books, Zoho Billing and Zoho Inventory.  

How Zoho Billing Handles Belgium e-Invoicing     

Zoho Billing aligns your invoicing and billing workflow with Belgium's structured e-invoicing model. Storecove acts as the certified Peppol Access Point, handling the secure transfer of transactions between Zoho Billing and your customer's accounting software in accordance with Belgium's e-invoicing.
