Does this apply to you?

Do you need to register in Belgium?

As soon as one of these situations applies to you, a local VAT number becomes mandatory — often even without a physical presence on site.

  1. You store goods on site

    Warehouse, logistics provider (3PL) or Amazon FBA stock in Belgium: registration is due from the moment you hold stock, even before your first sale.

  2. Your distance sales exceed €10,000

    Above the European threshold of €10,000 in B2C distance sales, if you have not opted for the OSS one-stop shop.

  3. You import goods

    You bring goods into Belgium to resell, store or process them.

  4. You carry out intra-Community transactions

    Acquisitions or supplies of goods from or to Belgium as part of intra-EU trade.

  5. You sell to private individuals on site

    Direct sales to private customers located in Belgium, where no reverse-charge mechanism applies.

  6. You provide locally-supplied services

    Services connected to immovable property, or a service linked to a trade fair or event held on site.

A single situation is enough — we register you in Belgium, and across Europe.

Good to know: the OSS one-stop shop only covers B2C distance sales. As soon as you hold stock on site, a local VAT number remains mandatory — even with OSS enabled.

Agent or fiscal representative?

Do you need a fiscal representative?

It all depends on where your company is established. Either way, Eurofiscalis handles all of your obligations in Belgium from start to finish.

Company established in the EU

Representative not required

Good news: in most cases, an EU company does not need a fiscal representative in Belgium. But your VAT obligations remain — registration, invoicing, returns.

  • We act as your tax agent: registration, returns and deadlines handled from A to Z.
  • You stay in control of your file, with no joint liability.
  • A single English-speaking contact for all your compliance in Belgium.
Company established outside the EU

Fiscal representative required

A non-EU company generally has to appoint a locally-established fiscal representative, often jointly liable for the VAT debt.

  • Eurofiscalis takes on this official role and manages all your returns.
  • We answer for your compliance before the tax authorities.
  • You run your business, we carry the fiscal liability.
Agent or representative

Either way, we take care of 100% of your VAT obligations in Belgium — registration, returns, recapitulative statements and deadlines. You stay focused on your business.

Exceptions exist depending on agreements between states: we confirm your exact situation, with no commitment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know about fiscal representation in Belgium.

What is a tax representative in Belgium?

A tax representative in Belgium is a certified professional (Belgian VAT specialist or accountant) who manages all your Belgian tax obligations: VAT registration with the BCAE, monthly VAT returns, Intrastat, intra-Community sales lists, administrative compliance and tax representation in Brussels. They engage their professional liability before the Bureau Central pour Assujettis Étrangers.

When do I need a tax representative in Belgium?

You need a Belgian tax representative or agent if your company:

  • is established outside the European Union (responsible representation mandatory);
  • imports goods into Belgium or manages a Belgian customs warehouse;
  • stores goods on Belgian territory;
  • makes intra-Community supplies from Belgium to the EU;
  • provides taxable services in Belgium;
  • organises events or conferences in Brussels or Belgium;
  • needs local tax and accounting assistance with Belgian VAT specialists.
How long does it take to obtain a Belgian VAT number?

Obtaining a Belgian VAT number (BE) from the BCAE takes approximately 40 days with our tax representative service. Our Belgian VAT specialists speed up the process through their expertise and contacts with the Bureau Central pour Assujettis Étrangers in Brussels. Direct identification is free and without administrative fees.

What is the difference between a responsible representative and a tax agent?

Responsible representation (non-EU)

  • Engages personal liability before the BCAE.
  • Sole point of contact with the Belgian tax authorities.
  • Mandatory for companies established outside the European Union.
  • May require a guarantee deposit depending on the case.

Direct identification with a tax agent (EU)

  • The agent represents the company without personal liability.
  • The company remains responsible for the accuracy of VAT returns.
  • Reserved for companies established in the European Union.
  • Free, no guarantee deposit required; the director retains final responsibility.
What are Belgian VAT obligations for companies?

Belgian tax obligations with the BCAE cover all taxable operations:

  • monthly or quarterly VAT returns depending on the regime;
  • Intrastat for intra-Community goods transfers;
  • intra-Community sales list for supplies to other EU countries;
  • annual client listing for B2B operations in Belgium;
  • management of VAT advance payments and instalments;
  • customs formalities for imports into a Belgian warehouse.
How do I file VAT returns in Belgium?

The frequency of Belgian VAT returns depends on your tax regime:

  • monthly returns: for most registered taxable persons;
  • quarterly returns: for companies with reduced turnover;
  • Intrastat: monthly or quarterly declarations depending on thresholds;
  • annual client listing: once per year for B2B operations;
  • advance payments: management of automatic tax instalments and advance payments.
What is the BCAE (Bureau Central pour Assujettis Étrangers)?

The BCAE is a specialised Belgian tax office based in Brussels that manages:

  • VAT registration of foreign companies in Belgium;
  • validation of direct identification or responsible representation applications;
  • monitoring compliance with Belgian tax and filing obligations;
  • assignment of Belgian VAT numbers to foreign companies;
  • management of Belgian VAT refund procedures;
  • application of penalties in the event of regulatory non-compliance.
What is ET 14000 in Belgium?

ET 14000 is a Belgian customs regime that allows:

  • import without VAT payment: goods imported into Belgium do not require immediate VAT payment;
  • cash flow optimisation: significant improvement of your financial cash flow;
  • customs warehouse: possibility of storing under customs bond in Belgium;
  • deferred declaration: VAT is declared and paid when goods leave the warehouse;
  • customs assistance: our customs intermediaries handle all formalities.
What evidence of activity is required to register for Belgian VAT?

The BCAE requires concrete proof of activity in Belgium:

  • commercial proof: contract or purchase order with a Belgian customer or supplier;
  • logistics proof: warehouse lease contract or customs warehouse in Belgium;
  • import documents: import or transport document for goods;
  • operational evidence: invoices, merger, business takeover in Belgium;
  • company documents: trade register extract, VAT certificate of origin, articles of association, director ID;
  • bank details: bank account for VAT instalments and refunds.
