- Due to technical issues with FPS Finance platforms, many Belgian taxpayers received incorrect VAT payment reminders on August 3, 2026, even though the amounts were already paid or credited to their new provisional VAT account.
- The ITAA sent a letter to the Minister of Finance on August 4, 2026, asking for an immediate halt to these reminders and automatic cancellation of the announced 5% late-payment penalties.
- Taxpayers receiving these notices should gather a dossier with the provisional account statement, proof of payment (including execution date and structured message), and the full payment request letter.
- The ITAA says that if the exact amount was paid on time, the debt is legally extinguished, and it is pushing for central corrections without requiring individual appeals.
