# Peppol made simple

Peppol is becoming mandatory for VAT-liable businesses in Belgium.  
**ClevIn** handles the technical bits so you can keep sending invoices like always.  

---

## What is Peppol?

Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement OnLine) is a **secure network** that standardizes how invoices and other business documents travel between companies and governments.  
Think of it as an official highway for e-invoicing: instead of sending PDFs by email, invoices are delivered in a structured digital format (UBL) through certified access points.  

The Belgian government has announced that **B2B e-invoicing will become mandatory in phases starting in 2026** — and Peppol is the official channel for sending and receiving these invoices.  
> _Note: 2025 is a transition year. Businesses are encouraged to prepare, but the obligation begins in 2026._

---

## Who is concerned?

In short:  
- **Freelancers and self-employed** issuing invoices to companies.  
- **Small and medium businesses (SMEs)** with VAT numbers.  
- **Large enterprises** who already use structured invoicing.  

If you’re VAT-liable in Belgium, you’ll need to be ready.

---

## How ClevIn manages it

For freelancers, the technical side of Peppol can feel overwhelming: XML formats, identifiers, access points…  

That’s where **ClevIn** comes in:  
- You create invoices exactly like you do today.  
- ClevIn automatically generates the correct Peppol UBL format.  
- Invoices are sent via a certified access point.  
- You receive updates when your client’s system accepts or rejects the invoice.  

No extra steps, no IT project. Just invoices that reach your clients, **compliant by default**.  

---

## Beyond the obligation: why Peppol is an advantage

While Peppol is often seen as a legal constraint, it can actually make your invoicing life easier:  
- **Everything in one place** → No more digging through email threads for attachments.  
- **No scanning paper invoices** → All invoices arrive in a structured, searchable format.  
- **Faster processing** → Many clients process Peppol invoices automatically, which means faster payments.  
- **Traceability** → You always know when an invoice was delivered and accepted.  

With ClevIn, you don’t just comply with the law — you gain a **streamlined, professional invoicing flow** that saves time and reduces errors.  

---

## Takeaway

Peppol is not just another administrative burden.  
With **ClevIn**, it’s your chance to **professionalize your invoicing** without any complexity.  

Stay focused on your work — ClevIn takes care of Peppol.
