Council of Ministers approves near real-time e-reporting pre-draft law
The Council of Ministers approved an avant-projet de loi amending the VAT Code that introduces a mandatory electronic reporting obligation for invoice data in near real time, filed both by the supplier or service provider and by its customer, and that allows the annual list of taxable customers to be dropped for taxpayers subject to that reporting. The text has been sent to the Data Protection Authority and the Council of State for their opinions before it continues through the legislative process.

General Q1 2026 tolerance period ended; enforcement begins, self-billing tolerance to 30 June 2026
The Belgian administration confirmed that the general tolerance period covering the first three months of 2026 has ended and was not extended, so enforcement of the B2B structured e-invoicing obligation applies from 1 April 2026. A targeted temporary tolerance remains in place until 30 June 2026 inclusive for self-billing, where penalties will not be imposed if the software provider is actively implementing that functionality. Outside this exception, penalties may be waived only after a case-by-case analysis of the file, per the end-of-tolerance notice .
