Value added tax (VAT)
In the complex landscape of Belgian taxation, VAT (Value Added Tax) management remains a major concern for businesses. BKNH plays a key role by offering specialized services aimed at optimizing tax compliance and maximizing the financial benefits of its clients.
> VAT obligations
As tax professionals, we support you in optimizing your tax management, ensuring compliance with legal standards and minimizing VAT risks. Trust our expertise for transparent and efficient management of your VAT obligations.
> VAT Units
The VAT unit, also known as a "VAT group" or "VAT grouping" in some countries, is a tax mechanism allowing separate companies to form a single entity for value added tax (VAT) purposes. This mechanism is used in some European countries, including Belgium, to facilitate the tax management of groups of companies.
> Special tax regimes
In Belgium, special VAT regimes are specific tax provisions applicable to certain economic activities. These regimes aim to adapt the treatment of value added tax (VAT) to specific sectors, often for social, economic or environmental reasons (works of art, real estate, agriculture, international services, non-profit organisations, etc.).
> Get your Belgian VAT number
The VAT code, in its article 4, §1, requires any person carrying out deliveries of goods or services, on a regular and independent basis, as a principal or secondary activity, with or without a profit motive, and this within the framework of an economic activity, to be subject to VAT.
BKNH carries out, for you, all the procedures for obtaining a Belgian VAT number.
> The case of distance selling
Are you a foreign company, for example French, and regularly sell goods in Belgium?
If the turnover excluding VAT generated by these sales, during the calendar year and the previous calendar year, exceeds 35,000 euros, you are required to register and obtain a VAT number in Belgium.
> Importation of goods
The operation that consists of bringing into Belgian territory or into that of the Community (provided that it is placed under one of the regimes provided for in Article 23, §4 of the VAT Code), is considered a transaction subject to VAT.
The company that carries out imports must obtain a Belgian VAT number.
After obtaining this number, the company can apply for an "ET 14000" authorisation. This allows the company to defer payment of the VAT due on importation on its periodic declaration, thus avoiding having to pre-finance the VAT with customs when importing the goods.
