The present note has not for purpose to give an answer to all the questions raised by foreign EEC interim companies who put people during short, middle or long term periods at the disposal of Belgian companies in the context of "services agreements". Generally these people are IT specialists and enjoy the benefits of the 1.408/71 EEC ruling meaning they stay under the umbrella of the social security of the foreign employer.
As each year the tax people are playing with our (and your) feet and let us wait for knowing when will the (2007) income non-resident tax returns be sent and have to be filed. Well we are getting an answer although indirectly as the electronic formulars have now been issued today. This might mean that the paper formulas, legally required, will indeed be sent end of October 2008 with end of November as a due date ( ? ). Ready for the stress ? |
Dear All, Please pay attention to the fact that for the 2007 income tax bill in 90% of the cases the tax people has simply forgotten to pick up (as they must do it) your usual bank account number they are aware of or the new one mentioned on the tax return. So in case of a refund they will now send you BY NORMAL MAIL a postal check ! Assuming you get it (everybody know that mail can be lost ....) than you will have to queue at the post office to get the refund provided you have your identity card on you. |
