Mr. An De Reymaeker, Tax Lawyer and Partner of the law firm Vandendijk & Partners will be a panelist at the WIN SEMINAR (The Women in the International Fiscal Network) on 6/9 at the IFA Congress 2022 in Berlin on “Tax challenges of the new working world” (see website IFA Congress berlin 2022 for more information). UPDATE ON THE TAXATION OF CROSS-BORDER TELEWORKERS The European Commission considers long-term solutions for cross-border teleworking. On August 11 the Commissioner for Economy informed the European Parliament that the European Commission is currently working with member states and stakeholders to find long-term solutions for tax and social-security repercussions of cross-border teleworking in the European Union. This concerns in particular the taxation of wages (article 15 of the OECD model tax convention) and taxation of company profits (article 5 with regard to PE issues). See below under NEWS June 2022 for more details : EESC event organized in May 2022. Do not hesitate to contact An De Reymaeker (vide) for any questions. |

UPDATE ON THE TAXATION OF CROSS-BORDER TELEWORKERS You will find herewith the link to the event which took place on May 31 at the European Economic and Social Committee on this topic (with Mrs. An De Reymaeker, International Tax Lawyer of Vandendijk & Partners as panel member) : I would like to thank you for your participation in the EESC virtual public hearing "Taxation of teleworkers: Post Covid-19 tax challenges". Your contribution was highly appreciated both by the ECO Section members as well as by the organised civil society stakeholders. The EESC members will use the input gathered from event to feed into forthcoming EESC own-initiative opinion "Taxation of cross-border teleworkers and their employers". In the meantime the Administrative Commission for the Coordination of the Social Security agreed to have a transitional period until 31/12/2022 for teleworking frontier workers (meaning that no switch of competent state and social security will occur when working more than 25% from home, as was the case during Covid-19). Do not hesitate to contact our office, Mrs. An De Reymaeker (vide) for more information. UPDATE ON THE NEW EXPAT REGIME On May 6 the Belgian tax authorities published an administrative Circular letter with regard to the new expat regime for inbound taxpayers and inbound researchers (Cir. 2022/C/47) with some more explanations. (“Circulaire over nieuw regime voor ingekomen belastingplichtigen en ingekomen onderzoekers”, door An De Reymaeker Fiscaal Advocaat-vennoot Vandendijk & Partners, Fiscale Actualiteit, Wolters Kluwer, nr 19. Week 2-8 juni 2022) On June 15 they decided to extend the deadline for the first applications and “opt-in” applications from the old to the new regime from July 31 to September 30, 2022! Do not hesitate to contact An De Reymaeker (vide) for any questions. |

« Taxation of teleworkers : Post Covid-19 challenges”, event organized by the European Economic and Social Committee on 31/05/2022 in Brussels. Ms An De Reymaeker, International Tax Lawyer and Partner of Vandendijk & Partners will be one of the speakers. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the lives of workers and businesses in unprecedented ways. A key change, with travel restrictions in place and governmental limitations in the number of employees present in offices, has been the rise of cross-border teleworking. This has a direct taxation impact for many employees and their companies and poses challenges to the international taxation systems of today. During the Covid-19 pandemic, agreements have been concluded between the tax authorities of Belgium and other neighboring countries like The Netherlands, France, Luxemburg and Germany, in which it has been agreed that the situation had to be qualified as “force majeure”. This means that, for employees who were working from home (due to Covid-19 measures), these working days should be counted as days performed in the “habitual place of work” (work state), where the employee would have physically performed his or her activities, in a normal, non Covid-19 situation. There will by consequence be, in these specific cases, no impact on the tax position of the concerned employees. However, these agreements will come to an end on June 30, 2022. If cross-border telework will continue this will have major tax impacts for those employees. If you would have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ms An De Reymaeker (vide). |
