Belgium is considered to be the most convenient jurisdiction for doing business. Entrepreneurs looking for long-term work and high stable profits should definitely turn their attention to this country, since Belgium provides foreign company owners with the opportunity to apply for a residence permit. In addition, Belgium is a highly developed political, financial and social environment, complemented by convenient tax requirements.

Belgium, in essence, is an offshore, since it provides for the presence of preferential rates regarding VAT and payment on dividends. Entrepreneurs can use these benefits in some cases. Among the main advantages of the Belgian jurisdiction are the absence of taxation on income received from capital increases through shares, as well as the agreement on avoidance of double taxation concluded with Hong Kong.

In some cases, the decisions made by tax inspectors are, for the most part, subject to challenge. In addition, among the advantages of this state, the following stand out:

  • favorable geographic location, low cost of rent and purchase of premises for residential or commercial purposes;
  • dual citizenship is allowed, non-residents can open a business in Belgium;
  • the taxation model is transparent and uncomplicated;
  • the company registration process is also quite simple.
