Before you start. Since 1 January 2026, invoices between VAT-registered businesses in Belgium must be sent as structured e-invoices over Peppol. Openn Invoice does not send over Peppol, so in Belgium use it for quotations, invoices to consumers, reminders and keeping track of who has paid.

Set for Belgium

Made for how Belgium invoices.

VAT

21% is the standard rate. 6% covers most food, books and medicines, and 12% a narrow group that includes restaurant meals. Locally the tax is called btw in Dutch, TVA in French.

VAT ID

A Belgian VAT number is BE followed by the ten digits of your enterprise number.

EUR and local dates

Amounts are in euros, and you can pick another currency on any invoice. A bank statement you upload is read the way banks in Belgium write dates.

Financial year from 1 January

Invoice numbers start a new series each January, so the first invoice of the year is OG/2026/0001.

FAQ

Questions from Belgium.

Can I issue official invoices in Belgium from Openn Invoice?

Since 1 January 2026, invoices between VAT-registered businesses in Belgium must be sent as structured e-invoices over Peppol. Openn Invoice does not send over Peppol, so in Belgium use it for quotations, invoices to consumers, reminders and keeping track of who has paid.

I am not registered for VAT. Can I still use it?

Yes. Leave the VAT ID empty in settings and send invoices with no VAT on them. Businesses with yearly turnover up to €25,000 can use the exemption scheme and invoice without VAT.

Can I bill customers outside Belgium?

Yes. Pick the customer’s country and currency on the invoice. A VAT-registered customer in another EU country is billed under the reverse charge, with no VAT added. A customer outside the EU is billed as an export. You see the reason on the invoice before you send it.

What does it cost in Belgium?

Free covers 5 invoices a month. Pro is € 8 a month or € 69 a year, with unlimited invoices, recurring invoices and bank statement matching. Prices exclude VAT.

Are the app and the invoices in Dutch or French?

Not yet. The app and the printed labels on invoices are in English. What you type, such as item descriptions, notes and terms, can be in any language.
