Tax advice for developers, employees and founders in crypto
The crypto sector in Belgium encompasses more than just investments. We also support companies, freelancers, and professionals active in the sector, such as blockchain startups, investment funds, and hardware wallet developers, with targeted tax and legal support.
Tax review of your crypto portfolio
We are regularly contacted for a full review of crypto portfolios to verify whether everything has been correctly declared in the past. This is often done with a view to bank records or the upcoming transparency regulations under DAC8, which will give the government access to crypto transactions.
Compliance and banking questions about crypto
When crypto profits are deposited into a Belgian bank account, banks often ask questions about the origin. We provide fast and accurate support for KYC requirements. In many cases, it's advisable to create a file beforehand to avoid problems with the transfer.
Assistance with suspected tax fraud and money laundering
Tax authorities and police are increasingly asking questions about cryptocurrencies in the context of tax fraud and money laundering investigations. We help you put your case into context, refute accusations, and provide support during interrogations, inspections, and criminal proceedings.
Assistance with tax audits and disputes with the tax authorities
We represent you in disputes with the tax authorities, from tax audits to negotiations with the BBI (Dutch Tax and Customs Administration). Thanks to our expertise in crypto taxes, we strive for an efficient and well-founded resolution of the conflict, preferably out of court.
Crypto and tax returns
There's a lot of confusion surrounding crypto taxation: does it qualify as an exemption, speculative income, movable income, or professional income? And what about the rules regarding normal, responsible management? We provide clear advice on the tax treatment of your crypto portfolio and guide you through filing a correct tax return.
