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.

When transactions are created, they can be communicated to customers through the following modes:

VAT Registered & On Peppol Network | Peppol & Email |
VAT Registered & Not on Peppol Network | Email Only |
Unregistered/B2C | Email Only |

Today the apps do not support the below functionalities yet.
Additional Payment Reference Field: Credit & debit transfer, ACH Direct debit.
Support for additional attachments.
Supporting businesses that are registered in Peppol with different legal identifier; for example - 0088:5412345000013 , 9925:BE0123456789 , 0208:0123456789 .
These are features we're working on and will be released shortly. We will update you as and when we update these.
