- Belgium has introduced an optional BE SAF-T upload channel in MyMinfin for tax audits, allowing businesses to submit requested accounting data electronically.
- The option applies only when the tax authority requests information; it is not a recurring tax return or periodic filing obligation.
- No current Belgian law requires businesses or external accountants to file BE SAF-T, and taxpayers without compatible software may still provide the data in another readable format by arrangement with the authorities.
- Belgium’s BE SAF-T follows its own XML/schema specifications based on OECD SAF-T 2.0, so not every SAF-T or XML export will be accepted.
- The framework distinguishes between BE SAF-T ACCOUNTING and BE SAF-T SOURCE DOCUMENTS, with the MyMinfin upload function specifically confirmed for BE SAF-T ACCOUNTING.
