Your company can generally reclaim 100% of the Belgian VAT incurred on expenses, but there are exceptions. Belgium has limitations on VAT recovery for certain expenses such as accommodation, restaurant services, and reception costs, which may not be refundable. Additionally, there are partial VAT refund limitations for vehicle costs and equipment not used solely for business purposes. To ensure VAT recovery, your company must follow the rules of the VAT game, including improving internal VAT recovery processes, ensuring correct invoicing, checking recoverability, receiving detailed invoices, and using the correct refund procedure. Failure to comply with these principles may result in the inability to recover VAT paid on expenditure.
