Frequently asked questions
WhereTobill is an initiative of the economic professionals to ease the deploying of e-invoicing in Belgium. WhereToBill is based on a repertory of companies. This directory completes the e-fff, Belgian e-invoicing standard. “WhereToBill” consist than to define a new standard of transport. These two standards form a all in one standard solution to make sending and reception of e-invoicing simpler and more efficient, for all the companies and their advisers (accountants, bookkeeper, tax advisor, …).
WheretoBill allows each company to define the specific place where they want to receive all their e-invoicings. In that way, they can define if they want receive their e-invoicing on a « free channel » such as googledrive, Dropbox, BillToBox Lite, … or their FTP. They can also ask to be delivered in their specific software environment such as winconnect, exactonline, mycompanyfiles, …
As a principle, WhereToBill wants to offer a natural compatibility with all the technological environments while ensuring e-invoicings delivrey to the company and its “economic professionals” (accountant, accountant, etc.). This mirroring delivery is inscribed at the heart of WheretoBill’s missions.
Each company has the possibility to open an address in the directory and to define its reception channels. To be activated, the company must however absolutely pass through an economic professional (accountant, bookkeeper, tax advisor or auditor).
The economic professionals are people who bring the title of accountants, bookkeeper, tax advisor or auditor. Their institute certifies them. In that case, they can also request to be certified on the wheretoBill platform. Once approved, they can use the directory services and they can also use and deployed the sectorial offer proposed by the IEC-IAB to its members, in association with UnifiedPost: it is the BillToBox platform.
WhereToBill is an open directory that is only intended to complement the existing software ecosystem of companies or fiduciaries. So it can naturally work with any solution that will request us to access to the WhereToBill API. WhereToBill requires support of the E-fff standard by this software solution. The approval of a software solution is necessary for both sending and billing solutions.
BillToBox is a complete cloud-based solution, free or paid, based on the WhereToBill directory. It presents itself as a successful and ambitious proposal of economic professionals for their clients. Through the IEC-IAB agreement, each certified fiduciairy can deploy the foundation of a digital environment at no cost.
In reality, the fiduciairy configures his office, his associates and clients on the collaborative platform. It then activates the WheretoBill application. Finally, it defines for each client the desired channels. Naturally, the economic professions will be very tempted, without being obliged, to immediately activate the BillToBox solution as a reception channel for their customers, since the solution is free in reception and deployed on all the belgian fiduciairies.
WheretoBill is a free service if you use free “reception or shipping” channels (example: Dropbox). It costs 24 euros per year in any other cases.
