BDO Belgium

BDO Belgium offers payroll services to Belgian companies, international groups and foreign entities that employ staff in Belgium. Each client is assigned a dedicated payroll consultant and a payroll reviewer, so calculations and filings are subject to a double check.

The full outsourcing service covers monthly data entry in the payroll software, monthly salary calculations, simulated and final payslips, monthly accounting documents, declarations of professional withholding tax and social security contributions, and payment instructions for net salaries and taxes. BDO also handles follow-up formalities such as personalised payslips, gross-to-net calculations, meal voucher orders and statutory declarations, for both employees and company directors.

For companies starting up in Belgium, BDO organises a kick-off meeting, registers the business as an employer with the Belgian authorities, puts clients in contact with external parties and sets a payroll calendar. Its in-house legal and corporate tax specialists advise on Belgian employment law, social security and tax questions, including permanent establishment and social insurance fund affiliation for foreign entities. Clients that prefer to keep their existing payroll provider can use BDO for advice and support alongside that provider, and its services extend across borders as client organisations expand internationally.
