Invoicing in Belgium
A business registered in Belgium charges VAT at a standard rate of 21%, invoices in EUR, and issues documents under names and numbering rules that are specific to Belgium. DocsOrigin carries all of that as registry data, so choosing Belgium once configures the tax, the document set, the numbering and the layout together.
Invoicing in Belgium is free forever with DocsOrigin: every document type, every export, no card and no trial.

How reliable is this figure
Graded high: this rate has been checked against a tax-authority or official source. It is still your responsibility to confirm it before you rely on it.
Whatever the grade, your own setting always wins — a rate you enter overrides the registry everywhere, including on documents already dated in the past.

Tax identifier
On a document issued in Belgium the identifier is labelled VAT number. It is printed in the header of every tax document, isolated left-to-right so it reads correctly in any interface language.
Expected format
^BE[01]\d{9}$
DocsOrigin checks this identifier's structure as you type — a wrong number on an issued document cannot be corrected by editing it.
As an EU member state, a Belgium number follows the EU VAT pattern and can be checked for structure before you rely on it for a reverse-charge supply.
Numbering
Documents in Belgium are expected to run in an unbroken sequence. DocsOrigin allocates the number at the moment of issue — never earlier — so a draft that is abandoned does not burn a number and leave a gap you have to explain.
Prefix, padding and yearly reset are configurable per document type, and the series is kept separately for each type.
How Belgium writes dates and money
Set the country and these stop being settings you have to think about. The examples below are rendered by the same formatter the documents use.
- Date
- 21/09/2026
- Amount
- 12 345,67 €
- Currency
- EUR
- Minor units
- 2
EUR is written with 2 decimal places, and every amount is stored as a whole number of minor units. ⛔ Money never touches floating point.
Selling from Belgium to another EU member state
A business customer in another member state with a valid VAT number is a reverse-charge supply: no tax is charged and the document has to say so, with the customer's number on it. A private customer in another member state is not. DocsOrigin suggests the treatment and prints the legal wording and the reason.
A worked example in Belgium
Three lines, priced identically everywhere, run through the real tax engine with the Belgium registry entry applied. This is what the document looks like there.

Invoicing in Belgium — questions
What tax rate do I charge in Belgium?
The standard VAT rate recorded for Belgium is 21%. Reduced rates may apply to particular supplies, and your own setting always overrides ours.
Which document do I issue to a customer in Belgium?
The document set recognised in Belgium is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Porezni račun, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.
Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Belgium?
No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Belgium as everywhere else: no subscription, no card, no trial, no per-document fee and no export fee. Optional professional services are the only thing that is ever charged for, and they are quoted per project.
What if the rate for Belgium is wrong or changes?
Set your own rate in the business settings and it overrides the registry immediately, for new documents and for any date. Rates are applied by document date, so an old document keeps the rate that applied when it was issued.
Also billing in EUR
The currency is shared, but the tax, the document names and the numbering rules are not. Each of these has its own entry.
Issue your first Belgium document
Choose Belgium once. The tax, the document names, the numbering, the date order and the currency format are configured together, and it costs nothing.
