Do Belgian companies need to file income tax returns? What is the tax rate? When do I have to file?

All Belgian companies are required to file an annual corporate income tax return, even if the company is not in business. The Belgian income tax rate is 25%. Belgian companies must submit their financial statements within seven months of the end of their fiscal year (generally January 1 to December 31) or, if your company's fiscal year does not coincide with the calendar year, within three months of the end of that fiscal year.

How do I get a Belgian company VAT number? What are the tax rates? How long does it take to file?

TKEG Expat will apply for a VAT number for the client after the company has been registered, usually within three to five working days. The VAT rate in Belgium is 21% and the filing cycle is usually once every three months.

About Belgium

Belgium is an attractive destination for foreign investors, mainly because it is located in the center of Europe and allows full ownership by foreign investors. Belgium provides a good business environment and good connections to surrounding markets. Other highlights of Belgium include high standards of living and a welcoming, multicultural, and open business environment.

Strategic Position

As a member of the European Union, Belgium serves a market of over 500 million EU consumers. Thanks to Belgium's geographical location, trade across Belgian borders is extremely fast, with export compliance requirements being met in just one hour. This is one reason why Belgium ranks first in the world in the cross-border trade category among 190 economies in the World Bank's Doing Business Report.

Diversified Economy

Belgium is committed to strengthening and expanding free trade agreements to facilitate entry into international markets and further promote economic growth. Belgium is the 12th largest exporting country and the 14th largest importing country globally. The service sector contributes to nearly 75% of the GDP and employs 73% of the workforce. Additionally, the region is a hotbed for developing biotechnology industries, mainly focusing on research, start-ups, and medical trials. Belgium's market comprises the French-speaking Walloon region, the Dutch-speaking Flemish region, and a small German-speaking area. This diversity makes Belgium an ideal place for companies to test products before expanding sales across Europe.
