As Xero is showing absolutely zero interest in helping us out with PEPPOL compliance, I am looking at working with Transalis. For small companies like ours, they can offer a web portal for £750 p/a to send up to 500 invoices via PEPPOL. Some manual integration with Xero and Woocommerce is still required. As many of our customer territories, including Latvia, Ireland, Slovakia and Estonia, are due to introduce PEPPOL within the next couple of years, it makes sense. Billit is Belgian only, I believe, and never responded to our requests for assistance.

@Megan Anderson: I tried signing up to Invoici and got this message: "Invoici from Xero is not available in your country.
Unfortunately, we can only connect Xero organisations in Singapore and Malaysia.

Click here for information on e-Invoicing for Xero in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom"

Clearly, Xero isn't taking this ticket seriously. Perhaps we should all consider BillIt (https://www.billit.eu/nl-be/).

Just providing info on an update we got from Xero - they said we can use Invoici (for free through Xero) in order to meet the Peppol requirement. However, in our situation, we had already signed up for Billit. Is anyone using Invoici with Xero now? Just curious if it's worth moving over, as we would need to deregister from Billit and reregister under Invoici.

Please update us ASAP on the timeline for this.

Hi Kelly, What is the roadmap for this? We are all waiting as you guys promised us to be live in December.

This not live yet then?

Hi Kelly, We are still waiting but since that the legal requirement starts on 1st of January 2026, I was wondering if there is an update on this? Or shall I look to move my accounting needs to another solution? An update would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone heard back from Xero separately on this? We are trying to hold off as long as we can before signing up for something else, but considering we have one week left, the odds are not looking good.

I have moved one company to Billit already as a test and will move my main entity to billit , for the new financial year.

Is there any news as to if we use Xero for our Belgium entity that Peppol will be up and running by the end of 2025? We would rather use Xero to submit our invoices via Peppol rather than doing this via a different platform and duplicating our effort.

Great new Emma! Thank you for sharing. We are so worried about this. And Xero do not seem to be helping. I will have a look at Billit now. I cannot find a single integration for Xero for this. This does help, even if we have to duplicate the work, it means we will get paid!

We are also engaging with Billit. Their preferred method of receiving invoices from Xero would be XML, but I cant find a tool that exports from Xero in XML. Second best would be CSV - they are currently checking if the Xero output is 'right kind of' CSV. If this also isnt sufficient they can read PDFs - either the free option which you would need to manually check to ensure it worked correctly, or they have the paid option where they would optimise the PDF reader to your exact invoices, which I believe they said would cost about 5k Euros as an initiation fee. Obviously we really want to avoid this option as we wont be using Xero for much longer at this rate.

Hello everyone,

As Xero don't seem to be in any hurry to find a solution for us, our Belgian accountant advised the following:

We advise you to create an account on https://www.billit.eu/en-int/.
This way, you can send and receive invoices via the PEPPOL network.

Billit doesn't seem to be compatible with integration with Xero, but it does integrate with Woocommerce, which might help. It could also be a short-term solution to create invoices for Belgium in Billit, although that will require doing twice the work as we would have to create an invoice in Billit and also in Xero.

I hope that might be of help for some.

it was mentioned that peppol for Belgium will be live before Dec. 25, well we are past that, can we at least get a response from xero? this is critical for businesses in Belgium

If we could get an update from Xero on this that would be great, as the last update said it was expected to be live before December 2025. We are all now in a position where we will need to find our own solution outside of Xero this month, which we would have done earlier but assumed based on the latest update that we would be able to rely on Xero for this.

We are a Belgian entity, so this is MANDATORY for us to continue doing business in Belgium from 1 January. Stating that this doesn't impact UK suppliers does not help in our situation.

Our charity is very much dependent on this working in time. We have not been able to find an alternative solution. Nathan, if you know of one, are you able to share it?

Straight talk: If your business depends on e-invoicing being implemented by January 1, you should be actively exploring alternative solutions.

There is a low likelihood that this feature will suddenly be released in the next few weeks.

I wish Xero communicated its roadmap more clearly, but the reality is it doesn’t. Counting on a last-minute rollout (and expecting a rushed feature to work flawlessly) is not a sound business strategy.

Hi, Can you please confirm if you are going to be implementing this as we need to make a decision on whether we can keep Xero or whether we need to make alternative arrangements ASAP.

Can anyone confirm the finer details re the Belgian legislation coming into effect on January 1st? We have a client who is based in Netherlands and the UK and sells in Belgium but they don't have a Belgian VAT number. The legislation seems to indicate that you only have to comply if you are registered for VAT in Belgium, have a VAT number and are trading B2B.

In follow up to this I am in need to invoice a public entity in Greece from my UK entity. If I don't invoice by end of December 2025 I lose this client.

This now needs a resolution and the timeline is far from acceptable.
