On 17 July 2023, the cabinet of the Belgian federal government failed to reach an agreement on the broader tax reform announced by the Minister of Finance, Vincent Van Peteghem on 2 March 2023, which aimed to introduce among other tax measures, the general obligation for B2B e-invoicing and e-reporting to reduce the country’s VAT gap.
This will most likely result in the postponement of the e-invoicing and e-reporting mandate in Belgium. According to the previous timeline, the Belgian-established and VAT-registered taxpayers would need to be able to receive structured e-invoices from 1 January 2024.
