When to identify yourself for VAT in Belgium?

All taxable persons in the EU have an intra-community VAT number in their country. As a French company, your FR VAT number allows you to trade with other Member States, to fill in your VAT returns or to answer the INTRASTAT survey in France. However, as soon as you are liable for VAT in another Member State, you must identify yourself for VAT in that country if you are not already established there. For which operations do you need to apply for a VAT number in Belgium?

You must identify yourself for Belgian VAT in the following cases:

This list is not exhaustive: if you have any doubt, do not hesitate to contact us before starting your activities in Belgium. You must indeed file your application for registration before the start of your operations.

Our teams will take care of you. No more administrative and time-consuming tasks, our Belgian VAT Stars will assist you.

What steps should I take to obtain a VAT number in Belgium?

Please note that there are two different schemes for applying for a BE VAT number when you are a non-established foreign company: the “responsible” fiscal representation scheme, and the direct identification scheme. Your options are different depending on whether you are established in an EU or non-EU country.

Obtaining a Belgian VAT number for non-EU companies

You are obliged to use the responsible representation scheme if you are established outside the European Union. You cannot apply for registration yourself. You must appoint a fiscal representative in Belgium who will be responsible for all your VAT obligations in the country: registration, periodic declarations (VAT, Intrastat, EC Sales List), VAT payments and recoveries, etc.

Obtaining a Belgian VAT number for EU companies

If you are established in France or in another Member State, you will be using the direct Belgian VAT identification system. You have the possibility to appoint a fiscal agent in Belgium but it is not an obligation. This person can take care of your registration file, your VAT returns or even the filing of your Intrastats, depending on the tasks you entrust to him. On the other hand, you remain responsible for the VAT procedures carried out in Belgium: your fiscal agent is a simple intermediary between you and the Belgian tax authorities.

 

Do you want to do the procedures yourself? You can apply for a Belgian VAT number by contacting the Foreign SME Center directly. Here is the procedure to follow for direct Belgian VAT identification requests.
