Electronic invoicing consists of the complete automation of the invoicing process, from the issuance of the invoice by the supplier to its archiving by the customer. A pdf invoice sent by e-mail is therefore not an electronic invoice.
As from 1 November 2020 invoices for all new contracts of the Brussels regional administrations and organisations must be submitted in a digital format.
Since that date the number of digital invoices received by the Brussels public organizations has increased tenfold! In a span of less than one year the percentage of digital invoicing in the Brussels Capital Region went up from 1.06 to 10.08% (digital invoices received by public administrations and organisations).
