Mandatory e-invoicing via Peppol

From 1 January 2026: mandatory e-invoicing via Peppol 

All suppliers of Brussels Airport Company and its affiliated companies will switch to structured e-invoices via the Peppol network. 

From 1 January 2026, electronic invoicing becomes mandatory for all transactions between VAT-liable businesses in Belgium. This means that, from that date onwards, all Belgian VAT-registered companies must use structured e-invoices. Sending a PDF invoice by e-mail or through a platform will no longer be sufficient. 

Therefore, Brussels Airport Company and its affiliated companies will only receive invoices through the Peppol network as of 1 January 2026. This European platform for electronic invoicing makes invoice exchange more efficient, reliable and secure. 

What does this mean for you? 

All invoices dated 1 January 2026 or later must be submitted via Peppol for the following entities: 

• Brussels Airport Company NV – BE0890.082.292 
• Distributienet - Beheer Brussels Airport NV – BE0863.269.712 
• Brussels Airport Real Estate NV – BE0700.641.490 
• Cargo & Logistics Real Estate NV – BE0700.664.949 
• Airport Intelligence NV – BE0726.385.884 
• Brussels Airport Ventures NV – BE0780.935.419 
• Operational Real Estate NV – BE0777.424.415 
• Brussels Airport Sustainable Energy NV – BE1005.387.677 
• Airside Real Estate BV – BE0874.380.566 

Invoices dated up to and including 31 December 2025 can still be sent via the current channels (see further down in this article). 

How to prepare for e-invoicing 

• Registration: choose a Peppol access point/provider and register your company for a Peppol ID. 
• Accounting software: check whether your software is Peppol-compatible and configure it correctly.  

This will allow you to send invoices in Peppol-UBL format to Brussels Airport Company and its affiliated companies.  Don’t forget to attach the required supporting documents.
