PU 508 | 507 (Globe+): BE e-Invoices enhanced (Belgian legislation)

In this product update, several enhancements have been made to the Belgian e-Invoice XML, including the addition of new tags and improvements to existing elements.

Nature field

The Nature field has been added under the General tab in the VAT codes screen.

When defined, the Nature values from the VAT code maintenance is included in the TaxCategory block of the e-Invoice.

• If VAT 0% exemption is selected or VAT percentage is 0% is enabled, the Nature list will display the following values:
• Exempt from tax
• Zero rated goods
• Free export item, VAT not charged Services outside scope of tax





• If the VAT percentage is not 0%, Standard rate will be displayed.



• If the VAT Charged is enabled, VAT Reverse Charge will be displayed.

If Nature is not defined, the existing logic will apply.

Note: You can customise this list in the XML under the <be> section in the “TaxNature.xml” file located in the Exact Globe+ installation folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\Exact Globe+\xml\TaxNature.xml.
