Whether you're expanding abroad from Belgium or landing there as a global company, Light keeps every entity on one ledger.
Belgian GAAP
Report under Belgian GAAP and group standards side by side with multibook, mapped to the Belgian minimum chart of accounts (PCMN).
BTW / TVA
Standard 21% and reduced 12% and 6% rates applied via tax codes as transactions post, including the contractor reverse charge.
Peppol mandate
Structured B2B e-invoicing over Peppol is mandatory in Belgium since January 2026 — Light sends and receives Peppol invoices natively.
Belgian banking
Connect Belgian bank accounts via host-to-host integration (CODA statements) or bank feeds — transactions reconcile automatically, vendors get paid via SEPA.
VAT, from invoice to Intervat
Light handles Belgian VAT in the ledger — rates applied at posting, returns built continuously, the e-invoicing mandate covered.
Since January 2026, Belgian businesses must exchange structured e-invoices over Peppol. Light issues and receives them natively — invoices land as data, not PDFs, and post straight to the ledger.
Periodic VAT returns are built continuously and filed via Intervat, with the domestic contractor reverse charge and cross-border reverse charges posted automatically on both sides.
Intra-Community listings and the annual client listing are covered too, so Belgian compliance stays complete.
Compliant with how Belgium audits
Belgian statutory requirements are built into the ledger, not bolted on.
PCMN mapping
The Belgian standard chart of accounts is mapped natively, so statutory reporting drops out of the ledger.
CODA statements
Automated bank statement processing in the format Belgian banks deliver.
Audit-ready ledger
Immutable postings and complete traceability from financial statements to source documents.
One platform, every country you operate in
Belgium is one of the many countries Light supports out of the box — same ledger, same close process, local requirements handled per entity.
