This publication provides a high level overview of the tax, social security and work permit regulatory compliance requirements for expatriates engaged to work in Belgium.
Contents

Expatriates taking up employment in Belgium will be subject to comprehensive rules and, in some cases, employment visa requirements.

The Global Mobility Services team at Grant Thornton Belgium can help expatriates and their employers to deal with the Belgian visa and work permit requirements, with Belgian labor law and social security issues, as well as with Belgian income tax items.

In particular, we can assist expatriates and their employers to identify Belgian tax planning opportunities, review tax equalization policies, as well as providing compliance services regarding Belgian tax filing requirements. Please note that we – as Grant Thornton Belgium – cannot render actual payroll compliance services which are typically provided by dedicated Belgian payroll agents.

Expatriates may qualify for a special tax regime for international inbounds. We can prepare the formal application for the special tax regime to be submitted to the competent tax office.
