Avoiding Tax Penalties in Belgium: Understanding EC Sales List Obligations for Businesses Operating in EU

  • EC Sales List is a tax report that contains detailed information about transactions made with other companies from different EU countries
  • It is mandatory for companies with an active VAT number in Belgium and conducting transactions with taxpayers in other EU countries
  • The declaration must be submitted by the 20th day of the month following the accounting period
  • Monthly submission is required if the company exceeds the threshold of €50,000 in intra-Community supplies of goods
  • Failure to submit the declaration for at least 12 months will result in high tax penalties in Belgium
  • EC Sales List is different from INTRASTAT declaration, as the former monitors and verifies transactions within the EU while the latter is used for statistical purposes.
