Country-aware checks

  • Tax terminology: BTW / TVA (VAT)
  • Business ID label: BTW-nummer / Numéro de TVA
  • Belgium's FPS Finance says a VAT invoice is generally required for professional supplies to a VAT-taxable person or a non-taxable legal person, with listed transaction and sector exceptions. Private-use consumer supplies generally use the revenue ledger instead unless a specific invoicing or receipt rule applies.
  • For a Belgian VAT invoice in scope, capture the sequential invoice number and date, supply or payment date where different, supplier and customer identity/address and applicable VAT identifiers, quantity and nature of goods or extent and nature of services, unit price, discounts, taxable amount by rate or exemption, VAT rate and VAT amount, and any applicable exemption, reverse-charge, cash-accounting or margin-scheme wording. Transaction-specific simplifications and exceptions still require confirmation.
  • Belgian VAT invoices, copies, accounting books and supporting documents are generally retained for ten years, counted from 1 January following the relevant closure or document-issue year. Special regimes or proceedings can alter the practical period.
  • From 1 January 2026, structured electronic invoices are generally required for domestic transactions between Belgian VAT-taxable businesses, subject to the official exceptions. PDF by email is not sufficient for that scope; Peppol BIS is the default route unless an agreed EN 16931-compliant alternative applies. This preview does not create or transmit that regulated artifact.
