Belgium’s new coalition government has announced plans to introduce a complementary reporting requirement alongside the existing B2B e-invoicing mandate.
With the current e-invoicing system operating through the 4-corner Peppol network, there was speculation that a 5-corner model would follow. The recent announcement confirms this, stating that e-invoicing systems, cash registers, and payment systems will be directly linked to the Tax Administration, enabling real-time transaction data reporting.
Starting in 2028, the transition from a 4-corner to a 5-corner e-invoicing model will significantly enhance the Tax Administration’s ability to monitor and control transactions.
