Electronic invoicing and Peppol
Is your company ready for electronic invoicing?
Since January 1, 2026 , structured electronic invoicing has been mandatory for B2B transactions between Belgian VAT-registered businesses . The invoices in question must be exchanged in a structured format, notably via the Peppol network. A simple PDF sent by email is no longer sufficient for transactions falling under this obligation.
To be in order, your company must have a solution that allows you to receive and, when necessary, send structured electronic invoices via Peppol.
Ascend Accountant offers you a solution for Peppol
If you wish, we can offer you an accounting solution to manage your electronic invoices via Peppol.
With this solution, you can, among other things:
Receive your purchase invoices via Peppol
Electronic invoices received from your suppliers can be transmitted directly into your accounting environment.
Send your sales invoices via Peppol
You can create and send your electronic invoices to your business clients directly from the software.
View your accounting online
You can access your accounting from your computer or phone.
Simplify document transmission
Invoices received via Peppol can be automatically forwarded to our office.
An optional solution

Option 3 — Your current software or another solution
Do you already have billing or accounting software?
No need to change it automatically.
We can check with you if your solution allows you to receive and send structured electronic invoices via Peppol.
If your software is compatible, you can continue to use it.
However, we will need you to manually upload the documents to the Fid-Manager platform.
*Note: not all documents go through Peppol
Electronic invoicing via Peppol is mandatory between Belgian companies subject to VAT.
Documents that are not Peppol electronic invoices must always be sent to our office via Fidmanager.
For example :
- all invoices and receipts without VAT (insurance, fines, etc.)
- all invoices and receipts not from Belgian suppliers (example: invoices from France, China, ...)
- all invoices and receipts not showing your company's VAT number (cash register receipts, fuel receipts, restaurant receipts, etc.)
How much does the solution cost?
Using billing or accounting software may incur subscription fees.
These fees are not included in our accounting package.
For an estimate:
Option 1 - Our accounting solution - costs 120 euros excluding VAT per year in 2026.
Option 2 - Doccle - costs 4 euros excluding VAT per month in 2026.
Software prices are set directly by their publishers and may change independently of Ascend Accountant.
We can present you with the different options and help you choose the solution best suited to your business, but you remain free to choose the software that suits you.
