Webinar – Doing business across borders: current tax issues and optimizations

Dear client
Dear relation

More and more entrepreneurs are doing business abroad. Sometimes this simply involves sales of products, but it can also involve sending out staff or even opening offices to gain a foothold in the local market.

However, it is important to keep in mind that doing business abroad will create additional tax liabilities. For example, foreign entrepreneurs – as well as their employees active in Belgium – will become taxable in Belgium if they have a so-called “permanent establishment” here. This, of course, also applies to Belgian entrepreneurs doing business outside our borders. Depending on the country in which you will expand your business, having a taxable presence could also lead to a further tax optimization.

With respect to inbound investments, Belgian Tax Authorities are increasing their inspections. They are carrying out more detailed checks as to which activities of foreign companies are taxable in Belgium. Moreover, the concept of “permanent establishment” has undergone a thorough evolution due to all kinds of international developments. As a result, your presence in Belgium or abroad may become taxable sooner than you think. However, having taxable presence in Belgium or abroad could also give access to several tax benefits and should not always be detrimental.
