Electronic invoicing or e-invoicing is the way to go. From Jan. 1, 2026, digital invoicing will become mandatory for all invoices between companies, not just those to government agencies. An automated invoicing cycle offers plenty of benefits, and more and more companies are adopting it as part of their “digital journey. Why your organization shouldn’t miss the boat either and how to efficiently switch within your Dynamics 365 Business Central…
Start with E-invoicing
It may not be a “must” for your company right now (yet), but it still makes sense to think about this already. Those already on board are clear. The benefits of electronic invoicing speak for themselves:
- Clearer, faster and less chance of errors
- Futureproof towards future government obligations
- Secure and structured
- One solution for the various administrative and accounting tasks
- Also easy for purchase invoices on paper or in pdf
- Simplifies international trade
- More and more companies are using and requesting e-invoices
Back to the beginning
It has to be said: electronic invoicing originated from an idea of the government, as a means of combating VAT fraud. No superfluous luxury, when you know that the government in Belgium is missing 4.6 billion euros in VAT revenues, within Europe that is just under 100 billion euros. The structured exchange of invoice information will therefore become mandatory in our country:
- For every company that sends an invoice to the government – as of March 1, 2024
- For invoices between B2B companies – from Jan. 1, 2026
For this, all eyes are on Peppol, an “agreement framework” that allows companies to exchange e-invoices among themselves using different formats and according to a protocol. Access points give you access to the secure network to send and receive invoices.
Companies participating in that the Peppol network benefit from a secure and efficient way of document exchange, without having to worry about the compatibility of different software packages, document security or the many international government deadlines and requirements.
