How can we help you?

You wish to enter into a specific transaction?

As nearly every transaction has tax consequences in Belgium, it is key to liaise with your tax professional before entering into transactions. This is in particular the case when you intend to enter into important transactions, such as for instance:

• the acquisition or disposal of shares of your company;
• the acquisition or disposal of real estate or other assets;
• the investment in private equity;
• the set-up, (re)structuring, or liquidation of a company; 
• implementing a management or employee incentive plan; or
• the transmission of assets and private wealth to the next generation.

The firm accompanies you in:

• analyzing the Belgian legal and tax aspects of your envisaged transaction; 
• structuring the envisaged transaction by minimizing the tax burdens and mitigating potential tax risks; 
• if so required, requesting an advance ruling from the tax authorities to obtain legal certainty; and
• if applicable, advising on applicable transfer pricing principles.

You have a tax audit or tax dispute? 

• If you have a tax audit or tax dawn raid, please reach out, and the firm may ensure that your rights are safeguarded;
• If you receive:
  • a request for information (vraag om inlichtingen/demande de renseigements);
  • a rectification notice (bericht van wijziging/avis de rectification); or 
  • an additional tax assessment notice (bijkomend aanslagbiljet/extrait de rôle additionnel) where you believe that the tax authorities are manifestly wrong,
  please reach out and the firm may assist you in drafting response letters or an administrative appeal letter (bezwaar/réclamation) challenging the additional tax assessment.
• If the tax authorities reject the administrative appeal letter, the firm may assist you in launching a formal judicial procedure before the tax chambers of the various tribunals and courts.
