- Belgium’s tax authority sent threatening letters to about 190,000 entrepreneurs because faulty IT systems wrongly showed unpaid VAT debts or missing returns.
- The problem came from a technical error after a VAT account system update, which misregistered or misallocated payments and credits.
- Business groups and accountants strongly criticized the authority for causing panic and damaging trust and legal certainty.
- The tax authority says compliant taxpayers will not be fined or charged interest, and their records will be corrected automatically.
