What is Belgium's VAT annual listing requirement?
Effective: 2010-01-01 · Authority: SPF Finances / FOD Financien
Belgium requires VAT-registered businesses to submit an annual VAT listing (Jaarlijkse klantenlisting) by March 31 each year, reporting all Belgian VAT-registered customers with whom total annual supplies exceeded EUR 250. This cross-check mechanism allows the FPS Finance to verify VAT deduction claims against supplier reporting.
How will Belgium's B2B e-invoicing mandate affect the VAT listing?
The Belgian authorities intend to simplify or eliminate the annual VAT listing once the B2B e-invoicing mandate is fully operational. Real-time Peppol invoice data will provide the FPS Finance with transaction information previously gathered through the annual listing. The timeline for this simplification has not been formally announced.
