Werner Heyvaert updated the Belgian chapter of the book “Outbound Acquisitions: Tax Planning for European Expansion in a Changing Landscape - 2020 edition”. The book has been published by the prestigious Practising Law Institute in New York.
Werner's portion of the paper focuses on the Belgian company as a holding company, but under certain circumstances, a Belgian branch of a foreign company could be a valuable alternative. The most significant advantage of a branch would be that there is no dividend withholding or “branch profits” tax due on the repatriation of branch income to the head office.
