Peppol: ready for mandatory e-invoicing in 2026
Starting January 1st, 2026, electronic invoicing via Peppol will be mandatory in a B2B context. This means Belgian companies must send invoices to other businesses via the Peppol network – even if only part of their customer base consists of businesses. POM supports Peppol as a delivery channel, alongside familiar options such as email, paper, SMS, portal, app, etc.
Peppol – mandatory from 2026 for B2B invoicing

POM automatically detects if your customer is reachable via Peppol and sends the invoice through the correct channel. This ensures you reach 100% of your customers – including those not connected to Peppol.

What is Peppol?
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is an open, secure network that enables standardized electronic document exchange – such as invoices – between organizations. It ensures efficient, reliable, and error-free invoicing.
Peppol is not a platform, but a network of certified access points that communicate using the same international standards. Invoices are sent in the BIS format (Business Interoperability Specifications) and addressed based on the recipient’s Peppol address. This guarantees delivery and correct processing of your invoice.
Why is Peppol important?
The Belgian government has decided to make e-invoicing via Peppol mandatory for businesses starting in 2026. This measure fits into the broader digitalization of the economy and brings many benefits:
- Fewer errors thanks to standardized structures
- Full traceability of sending and receiving
- Lower administrative costs
Peppol also allows direct communication between accounting or ERP systems, without manual handling or file format conversions.
