The tax authorities have intensified their controls by adopting a stricter approach, leading many companies to face reassessments.

Recent legislative changes in Belgium have significantly increased financial penalties for errors related to the exemption from professional wage withholding tax. Since April 1, 2022, penalties ranging from 10% to 200% of the incorrect exemption amount can be imposed.

01

Pre-audit

In-depth analysis of compliance with tax conditions to ensure correct application of the professional wage withholding tax exemption measure. Identification of financial risks that may arise from incorrect application of conditions or misinterpretation of key terms and concepts. Comprehensive preparation of files for a future audit.
By choosing to voluntarily submit to a tax compliance review, the company signals to the tax authorities that it is acting with full transparency, reducing the likelihood of a future audit.

02

Audit Support

If the audit was not anticipated, whether planned or resulting in a reassessment, the ABV team provides all necessary documentation and required justifications to facilitate the process and limit any potential reassessments.
