You probably already know that, in certain countries, VAT-registered companies in Belgium will be required to exchange invoices digitally via the Peppol secure network. This means no more sending paper invoices or PDFs by mail. But how exactly does it work? This blog explains how you can easily get started with Peppol.
Peppol is a secure European network that allows businesses, public authorities and other organisations (including public authorities) to exchange structured electronic invoices (e-invoices) and other documents.
Documents sent through Peppol must meet certain standards. All businesses, public authorities and organisations connected to the Peppol network have a unique Peppol ID (identifier), so you can always be sure of the identity of your customer or supplier.
