We explore with you different set-ups for your office or presence in Belgium and analyse their impact in the hands of the partners. We examine the consequences for both Belgian resident and non-resident partners, giving equal consideration to the distinction between an equity partner and a contract partner, along with the corresponding compensation models.
Our primary focus is on partner compensation and benefits, taking into account the diversity present within your partnership model.
Once the setup is agreed upon, we can assist you with the necessary registrations and compliance formalities such as VAT, corporate tax and individual tax. Beyond tax formalities, we’re well-versed to assist you with accounting, as all enterprises active in Belgium – whether transparent or corporate entities – may be subject to Belgian accounting law.
Once your activities are up and running, we’ll keep you informed about new developments, both in and outside of Belgium. With strong connections within our team and to our international network, we bring over 60 years of experience to keep your goals in focus through solutions tailored to meet your needs. This is why leading firms look to PwC to structure their presence in Belgium, gain insights into their partners’ compensation and navigate the complexities of multi-jurisdictional taxation. As a result, we service more than 60% of the AmLaw top 100 firms. Don’t stay behind!
