Doing business internationally offers many opportunities, but also brings additional tax obligations. We help you comply with regulations and optimize your international activities for tax purposes.
What is international taxation?
Active in several countries? Then you must not only comply with Belgian tax law, you must also take into account local tax obligations, double taxation treaties and European and international reporting rules.

Transfer pricing
Is your company part of an international group with cross-border transactions? If so, you must follow the rules around transfer pricing in intra-group transactions and work on market-based terms.
Our benchmarking studies are a useful tool in this regard. We look at where optimizations are possible and help you develop and implement a transfer pricing model, whether or not documented in an internal transfer pricing policy. In case of changes in your supply chain, we examine whether an update of your transfer pricing policy is necessary.
Why tax advice on transfer pricing?
Transfer pricing is gaining in importance: rules are becoming stricter and tax audits more frequent. Significant sums of money are usually involved between group companies, so corrections in a tax audit can have significant financial consequences.
Transfer pricing is also subject to strict documentation rules. Our experts support you in the preparation and timely submission of your transfer pricing documentation (local file, master file, CbC report).
