What is in scope?

The e-invoicing mandate applies to domestic transactions where both the supplier and buyer are VAT-registered businesses with a fixed establishment in Belgium, and the transaction involves goods or services subject to VAT in Belgium.

The following are not subject to e-invoicing requirements:

• Transactions with Monta, since Monta does not have a fixed establishment in Belgium
• Transactions with consumers (B2C)
• Transactions with non-established or foreign businesses
• Non-sale transactions, such as home reimbursements or internal transfers

What this means for you

On the Monta platform, you can buy and sell from other operators, teams, and partners. Some of these transactions may be in scope for e-invoicing and must be sent as structured e-invoices through the Peppol network.

Note: Depending on your setup with Monta, you may only transact with Monta ApS and not with other parties on the platform. In that case, there is no B2B transaction between Belgian businesses, and the e-invoicing obligation does not apply.

If you are a seller

• Monta automatically sends e-invoices on your behalf when required by Belgian law.
• Your buyers always receive VAT-compliant documentation.
• Payment has already been received via your Monta Wallet in real time, so the e-invoice is purely documentary.

If you are a buyer

• Monta automatically sends e-invoices to you on behalf of the seller.
• These invoices are already settled through your Monta Wallet — no separate payment is required.

How Monta handles e-invoicing

• Monta consolidates all transactions per seller–buyer pair each month and issues one e-invoice via Peppol.
• Individual receipts continue to be generated in real time for transparency and reconciliation, but can no longer serve as valid VAT documentation for in-scope transactions.
• The VAT-valid document for Belgian compliance is the structured e-invoice transmitted through Peppol.

To deliver and receive e-invoices through the Peppol network, Monta partners with a certified Peppol Access Point provider.

Account setup requirements

To send and receive e-invoices, ensure all your business identifiers are up to date in Monta Hub. Add any identifier that applies to your business — such as your Belgian VAT ID, Enterprise number, or GLN number — under Account Settings.

Monta uses these identifiers for e-invoices sent both on your behalf and to you. Providing all relevant identifiers ensures invoices are routed correctly through Peppol. Missing a valid identifier may cause invoice transmission failures.
