The complex landscape of tax law
Many questions are raised when moving abroad and before taking any decision, both company and expat need to agree on a specific remuneration package.
Tax is thus the start and closing link of our compliance circle.
We can provide the correct calculations to close a deal. Once a specific remuneration package has been agreed upon, to optimize the tax position, a special tax regime can be applied for in Belgium. Provided the expat meets all conditions to qualify, we can file the special tax status request.
During the deployment, whether regarded as a Belgian tax resident or a non-resident, a yearly income tax declaration needs to be filed. We can do this for you.
Moving to a new country and getting settled in can be a challenge.
