Until recently, companies benefiting from this regime did not always have to submit an annual client listing when it was nil, meaning they had no clients to declare.
🚨 Starting in 2026, this changes: even if your client listing is empty, you must now submit a “nil” listing via Intervat.
Companies under this regime must also communicate their total turnover realized in Belgium during the previous calendar year.
📅 For operations carried out in 2025, the filing deadline is set for March 31, 2026.
An annual client listing only concerns B2B clients with a Belgian VAT number to whom you invoiced more than €250 excluding VAT during the year.
⚠️ If you therefore have no such clients, your listing is “nil”. You must nevertheless submit it via Intervat and indicate your annual turnover (or €0 if you carried out no operations).
