    Common Questions

    Belgium Incorporation FAQs

    Can a US company own 100% of a Belgium BV (Besloten Vennootschap)?

    Yes. The EU permits 100% foreign ownership of a Belgium BV (Besloten Vennootschap) by a US individual or US corporate parent, with no local shareholder requirement.

    Do I need to be a Belgium resident to be a director?

    No, Belgium does not require directors of a BV (Besloten Vennootschap) to be locally resident, though a registered local office address is mandatory and we provide this as part of formation.

    How long does Belgium company registration take?

    Typical registration timelines run 2–3 weeks, depending on document notarisation, apostille processing, and capital deposit requirements.

    What is the corporate tax rate in Belgium?

    Belgium applies 25% standard corporate tax rate (20% reduced rate on first EUR 100,000 for SMEs). The US-Belgium tax treaty framework and EU parent-subsidiary directive help prevent double taxation on profits repatriated to a US parent.

    Can I use one Belgium entity to trade across the whole EU?

    Yes, once registered in Belgium, the entity can trade, invoice, and register for VAT OSS to sell across all 27 EU member states under the EU single market framework.
