Peppol
We check the Peppol network live to see whether the company is registered and which documents it can receive: invoices, credit notes and others. Hover over a document for its technical name.
Since 1 January 2026, Belgian VAT-registered businesses send each other e-invoices. If a customer is not on Peppol, ask how they want to receive their invoices.
Check a VAT number (VIES)
We ask the European VAT register (VIES) whether the VAT number is active. If VIES does not respond, that is usually VIES itself. Try again later.
A valid VAT number only means the company is registered for VAT, not that it is healthy. For that, also look at the figures on the company page.
