Our services

VAT advice

You can rely on us for any VAT related issue. Our clients are companies (of all sizes and active in all types of industries), governments and non-profit organizations.

VAT compliance

We help non-Belgian companies to obtain a Belgian VAT registration and to comply with Belgian VAT formalities (e.g. filing VAT returns, listings, etc.). We can also help with VAT/Sales tax registrations in other countries.

VAT subscription service

We understand that businesses need fast, accessible, and accurate VAT advice without the hassle of lengthy reports. A subscription gives the right to unlimited VAT support via phone.

VAT Trainings & workshops

VAT rules are complex and dynamic. Keeping your team up to date is difficult but crucially important. Our trainers are capable of explaining VAT regulations clearly and accessibly.

E-Invoicing

Many EU-countries are introducing mandatory (structured) e-invoicing and e-reporting in the coming years. We can assist from vendor selection to implementation bridging the gap between tax and IT.

SAP assistance

The increasing pressure on companies’ tax compliance requires a perfect system management: going from master data to system setup and system output. Our SAP/VAT specialists can help to achieve this goal.

Dedicated VAT (compliance) support

We can provide dedicated support for an agreed number of days per month or per quarter (e.g. during busy compliance periods).

Tailored Tools

We develop tools customized to your business that will immediately provide VAT (reporting) advice (VAT treatment, VAT registration obligations, invoice requirements, tax code, internal instructions, …) and allow you to streamline AP reporting.

VAT Review

A VAT review provides you with a practical, to-the-point overview of potential risks and opportunities for your organization.
