VAT registration & fiscal representation

Expanding activities into Belgium or conducting cross-border transactions frequently triggers VAT registration obligations. Choosing the right VAT identification structure can significantly influence compliance obligations, cash-flow management and operational efficiency.

Our team assists Belgian and foreign businesses in determining the most appropriate VAT setup for their activities. We advise on the available registration options, assess the consequences of different operating models and manage the complete registration process with the VAT authorities.

For non-EU businesses, Belgian legislation may require the appointment of a fiscal representative. Forvis Mazars can act as your responsible fiscal representative and provide a single point of contact for both compliance and communication with the Belgian VAT authorities.

Through our international network, we also coordinate multi-country VAT registration projects, ensuring a consistent and efficient approach across jurisdictions.

We can assist you with:

• Belgian VAT registrations
• Direct VAT registrations
• Fiscal representation for non-EU businesses
• Assessment of VAT registration requirements
• VAT structure and operating model reviews
• OSS and IOSS registrations
• Cross-border expansion projects
• Ongoing support and communication with tax authorities
