- Belgium has updated VAT rules for virtual events and streaming services, aligning with EU Directive 2022/542.
- For virtual events, the place of supply for VAT purposes is now the customer’s location, not the event’s location, for both B2B and B2C transactions.
- If the customer has no registered office or fixed establishment, the place of supply is their domicile or habitual residence.
- The new rules apply immediately upon publication in the Belgian Official Gazette.
- Physical events remain taxed at the location where the event actually takes place.
