The invoice received on January 1 from ORANGE was not sent via PEPPOL –> no vAT recovery?!

Received on 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.

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.

Thank you!
I have now received a response from Orange along the same lines:
'Hello,
You will receive the next invoice via PEPPOL.
You can find all the information about the tolerance period for the first three months of 2026 on the website www.efactuur.belgium.be. '
