Belgium-Netherlands Desk (BENE Desk)

When is the BENE Desk relevant?

• You want to establish a company, branch, or subsidiary across the border in the Netherlands or Belgium.
• You have questions about corporate income tax, profit allocation, withholding tax, or the Belgium-Netherlands double tax treaty.
• Your goods flows, e-commerce activities, or warehouse operations create VAT obligations in both countries.
• Your directors or employees work partly across the border.
• You want to address legal, tax, and payroll matters in a coordinated way.

How can we help?

Our support always starts from your specific situation. We assess the structure, obligations, and key considerations that apply to your business and translate them into practical next steps.

• International structure: choosing between a permanent establishment, a local company, or another form of collaboration.
• Tax: corporate income tax, treaty-related matters, withholding taxes, directors’ remuneration, and profit allocation.
• VAT and compliance: registrations, OSS/IOSS, chain transactions, e-commerce, and VAT returns.
• Transfer pricing: documentation, benchmarking, and substantiation of internal transfer prices.
• HR and global mobility: salary split, social security, A1 certificates, remote working, payroll, and employment law.
• Legal support: contracts, shareholders’ agreements, directors’ liability, and employment-related documentation.

One point of contact, dual expertise

The strength of the BENE Desk lies in collaboration. While Moore Belgium brings in-depth knowledge of Belgian regulations and practice, Moore DRV contributes Dutch expertise. Through the Moore network, we quickly engage the right specialists and maintain a clear overview of your case.

This helps you avoid fragmented advice from multiple firms. Instead, you benefit from a partner who thinks along with you, assesses the cross-border impact of decisions, and helps you make sound choices for sustainable growth.

Our Belgium–Netherlands Desk supports entrepreneurs with cross-border activities between Belgium and the Netherlands. Thanks to our close collaboration with Moore DRV, our experts can rely on a strong local network and additional expertise in the Dutch market.
