Increased cost deduction of 120% for e-invoicing software
April 2024 - From 1 January 2026, the mandatory introduction of digital invoicing is imminent for Belgian companies.
In early 2024, the Belgian Chamber of Representatives approved a change in the law that gives companies a tax advantage when they switch to e-invoicing.
Specifically, entrepreneurs (more specifically sole traders and SMEs) will enjoy a temporarily increased cost deduction of 120% in income tax if they incur costs for an invoicing programme or advice in e-invoicing.
Larger companies also enjoy a tax advantage, but in the form of an investment deduction. Specifically, this covers subscription or consultancy costs for e-invoicing software, such as personal consultancy. The measure applies for the taxable period 2024 to 2027.
