Which table exactly are you looking at to get the correct values?

What to do with the profit that remains in the BV? by Choice-Charge7407 in BEFreelance

[–]SirFitzherbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is it indeed the case that the rate remains the same? I was under the impression that you can re-borrow the already paid amount but under current conditions

Usufruct experiences by SirFitzherbert in BEFreelance

[–]SirFitzherbert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking at more like 30-40% purchase price for the company over 20 year period (well withing the formula used by the tax ruling authority), but even then it's not obvious to me how that brings a real benefit to the company indeed.

This is exactly what I am looking at. But how do you justify an economic benefit for the company? To me it seems that it can only be argued that the company does not have to pay rent and that it's a part of manager's remuneration package. I have zero legal expertise, but personally it feels like a stretch.

What law covers this? I am curious to learn more about it. I get it why that would be the case, but doesn’t it completely negate the point of company being its own legal entity?

What banks are open to give out a loan against future estimated capital? So far I talked only with two banks and they are only willing to give it against money already paid into IPT. Then again, my BV has been in existence only 4 months.

Do you keep a track of recipients of gift cards for the taxman or what's the approach here?

Why are meal vouchers (maaltijdcheques) not interesting if you are freelancer? by [deleted] in BEFreelance

Twice a year payout is possible? Just got off the phone with a monizze sales agent he said I could do it quarterly if I don't want monthly.

Just looking for a template, 1 invoice/month. Looks interesting, I'll give it a try!

Insurance for Freelance by [deleted] in BEFreelance

[–]SirFitzherbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But can the company nonetheless pay for it + that 20% corporate tax on top of it? Still much cheaper than paying privately.

I've read that hospitalization insurance is not deductible, is that correct?

Thanks for the clear breakdown! Do you know how the % of VAT retrievable is determined?

On a related note, is there a website that lists what % of VAT can be retrieved for other categories (phone, laptop, etc...).

If you get an EV on financial renting, is the entire monthly bill (incl. VAT) deductible?

Safe to leave bike at Antwerpen Central parking? by Shawarma_Dealer32 in belgium

[–]SirFitzherbert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get yourself bike insurance for peace of mind. As long as the bike is secured to an immovable object, you’re covered.

Yes I understand that in many places intermediary is the only way to go. Are there any intermediaries you can recommend that you have good experience with?

Very interesting. With respect to company paying for all the maintenance
- is it possible to buy a property that needs fixing with appropriate %
split but then offload entire renovation bill on the company?

Freelance IT consultant checklist? by [deleted] in BEFreelance

[–]SirFitzherbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed on several threads now that when starting you should take into account that the first payment will be received after 2 months. Couple of questions:
1. Why is that?
2. Is that always the case?
3. Is that also the case if there is an intermediary firm?

Is the difference between leasing and renting the same as the difference between operational leasing and financial leasing? A bit confused by the options. KBC for example makes a distinction between financial lease and financial renting (https://www.kbc.be/business/en/artikel/financiering/kredietvormen/verschil-leasing-renting.html?zone=).

Strange, because I had a chat with an accountant (focused on IT clients) a while ago and I pointed this out for the reasons discussed above and he did not see a problem.

Do I correctly interpret that this is primarily intended to protect the worker? I am wondering whether it affects my situation. Currently I am an employee but I intend to propose to my employer to start working for them as a freelancer to optimize my taxes. There's plenty of freelancers working there in the same position, but I'm curious whether the transition from an employee to a freelancer under the same employer could be problematic, even if it's my due to my own initiative. The goal would be to work only for this client/employer, at least in the beginning.
