Belgium Introduces VAT Exemption Opportunity for Small Businesses in 2024
Small businesses with annual turnovers under €25,000 now have the opportunity to benefit from the VAT franchise regime. This new initiative exempts eligible businesses from most VAT obligations, simplifying administrative processes and allowing owners to focus on growth.
Eligibility and application
To qualify, your business’s 2023 turnover must not exceed the threshold. Eligible businesses will receive a notification letter titled “Application of the tax exemption regime” in May 2024, accessible through the MyMinfin portal under “My documents.”
How to apply
The deadline to opt into this VAT regime is June 1, 2024, and applications should be submitted via the e604 form.
This simplified VAT regime aims to support small business prosperity by reducing financial and administrative burdens. If you meet the criteria, applying early can help ensure a smoother transition into the new fiscal year.
