Legal confidence in e Invoicing: What to do when things go wrong

Iris Verrue, Advocaat of Legal Eyes

E-invoicing sounds simple—until it isn’t. What if your customer isn’t connected to Peppol? What if your invoice is flawless but still not paid? What’s the legal next step, and when do you take it?

In this interactive session, legal expert Iris Verrue opens the floor for real-world questions and practical solutions. No legalese—just clear examples, relatable cases, and direct answers. Learn how legal can be a facilitator, not a blocker, and walk away with tips you can actually use.

  • Disconnected partners – What can you do when your customer isn’t Peppol-ready?
  • Perfect invoicing, no payment – When legal compliance doesn’t lead to cash flow.
  • Timing and understanding – Why legal should only step in when everyone understands the ‘what’ and ‘why’.

Join the conversation and leave with legal confidence for your digital invoicing journey.

5-corner model: from concept to the prevailing CTC model?

Nazar Paradivsky, Vice Chair of Public Policy & Compliance WG of GENA

Tax administrations from all-over the world have for a long time been experimenting with various CTC (Continuous Transaction Controls) models, contributing to fragmented global e-invoicing landscape. In EU, this has in particular posed the risk of distorting the Single Market. 5-corner model, developed by Peppol, and endorsed by among others GENA, OECD and several governments aims to bring greater uniformity in this space. Careful reader of ViDA will notice that the 5-corner model serves as the blueprint of e-invoicing and DRR reform across the Union.

Gain insights on the multi-layered application of the 5-corner model on:

  • Belgium
  • EU via ViDA, and
  • Global developments

Don’t let this development take you by surprise and join this session to better prepare for the upcoming e-invoicing and CTC revolution.
