Invoices in PDF format (or another format such as Word or Excel) are still legal until the end of 2025. As of January 1, 2026, they will no longer be legal for transactions between Belgian VAT-registered companies. However, PDF invoices will remain valid for sales or services to private individuals.
You can also still voluntarily send a PDF version of the invoice to your customer, but from 2026 onwards, the structured electronic invoice will be the only invoice that is legally compliant.
If you use Billit, a PDF version of your invoice is always sent automatically.
