VAT representation and compliance
Foreign companies that carry out certain taxable activities in Belgium, may have to register for VAT purposes in Belgium. For example companies releasing goods for free circulation in Belgium and making subsequent supplies to customers in Belgium or abroad. Once registered, the non-resident company must abide by all Belgian VAT compliance and reporting requirements.
VAT registration status differs depending on whether the foreign company is established in the European Union or not.
Companies established in the European Union are entitled to register either:
- Directly (without a fiscal representative)
- Through the appointment of a Belgian fiscal representative
Companies established outside the European Union will have to appoint a Belgian fiscal representative.
