Revisit key insights from our experts on how to protect and optimise your R&D tax exemption under the latest Belgian regulations.
Since August 2023, companies must notify their R&D projects to BELSPO before they start in order to remain eligible for the partial withholding tax exemption, making timing and documentation more critical than ever
This session brought together Leyton’s R&D tax specialists to explain the latest audit focus areas, compliance requirements, and practical steps to ensure your exemption remains fully secure.
What did the attendees learn?
- Why timing is now critical: how the 2023/C/49 circular changed the rules so that late notifications can jeopardise an entire project or program
- Understanding who does what: the complementary roles of BELSPO (scientific validation and advisory role) and FOD Fin (administrative verification and final decision)
- The four recurring pillars of a compliant claim — eligible researchers, R&D character, BELSPO notification, and time‑tracking evidence
- How to prepare credible documentation: ensuring the project’s start and end dates reflect the real R&D timeline and not just administrative milestones.
- Best practices for audit‑ready projects: maintaining updates, managing multi‑year programs, and integrating new R&D activities smoothly.
What advantages does it bring to your company?
- Ensure your R&D tax exemption remains safe under the stricter compliance framework.
- Gain a clear understanding of the end‑to‑end BELSPO process and your organisation’s obligations.
- Learn how to leverage documentation to reduce audit risk and preserve eligibility.
- Discover how small compliance updates can mean significant financial savings.
