Should you register for Belgian VAT?

In common with the other 26 member states of the EU, Belgium requires foreign (non-resident) companies to register their foreign companies (not local branches or subsidiaries) for Belgian VAT in certain circumstances.  This includes the provision of taxable goods in the following situations:

  • Importing into Belgium.  However, if the local customer is a Belgian VAT registered business, or the goods will move onwards from Belgium immediately, this can avoided.
  • Buying and selling goods in Belgium if the customer is not Belgian VAT registered (if they are, then reverse charge applies, and no registration is required).
  • Storing goods in Belgium prior to resale.  Again, reverse charge exceptions apply if the customer if Belgian VAT registered.
  • Holding live exhibitions, events or training in Belgium.
  • If a company is otherwise a non-VAT trader, but is receiving services in Belgium under the reverse charge rule.
  • The self supply of goods.
