On 1 January 2026, new rules on personal securities will enter into force. Under these rules, a third party undertakes, if necessary, to guarantee payment of the debtor’s debt vis-à-vis the creditor.

PEPPOL COUNTDOWN: Are you ready for e-invoicing in 2026?
As of 1 January 2026, all companies established in Belgium and registered for VAT, except those that are fully exempt, have to issue their B2B invoices via the Peppol network. For the sake of completeness, Peppol enables businesses and public authorities to exchange invoices securely and in a standardized manner via accredited access points. As from that date, PDF invoices and paper invoices will no longer be legally valid.
