Is it true that if I receive invoices not via Peppol, the VAT is not deductible? Can I still include this in my vAT declaration?

Document not received via Peppol
From January 1, 2026, all purchase invoices from Belgian suppliers must be received on Peppol in order to retain the right to deduct vAT.What can you do?
Check in Dexxter whether Peppol is activated for your company
Question your Belgian supplier to ask them to send invoices via Peppol
If your supplier cannot send the invoice via Peppol, you will have to enter it with 0% vAT deduction %.
What if the company in question does not yet use Peppol? Then I am actually being penalized, even though I am okay.
Received from Dexxter support:
The government is currently allowing a grace period for the activation of Peppol. This is a temporary exception!
During this grace period, you can still recover vAT for the time being, even if the invoice was not sent via Peppol.
However, it is important that you can prove that you have made efforts to activate Peppol, or that you have explicitly asked your supplier to invoice via Peppol from now on.
In Dexxter, you can still adjust the "VAT deduction" percentage for the time being (despite the warning during entry). This is set to 0 percent VAT deduction as the standard value, but can be temporarily edited.
You really should try it out for yourself. Even if you don’t have a company number yet, you can already go ahead.
