As a follow-up on the second Action Plan for the fight against social and tax fraud (see our prior newsflash on this Action Plan here), a bill was recently submitted to the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, which contains a number of relevant tax controversy measures.

Overall, the bill significantly extends the powers of the Belgian tax authorities and limits to a certain extent the taxpayer’s procedural rights.
