Possible VAT registration threshold increase in Belgium

13 October 2015

Belgium has proposed raising its VAT registration threshold from €15,000 to €25,000 for resident companies.  If this proposal is accepted then the new threshold will come into force on 1 January 2016.  This change will not affect non-resident companies selling in Belgium where the nil VAT registration threshold still applies.

From 1 September 2015 the VAT rate applicable to supplies of domestic electricity in Belgium increased from 6% to 21%.
