Firmengründung in Belgien

Wichtig: Das Recht eines Nichtansässigen, Eigentümer des Unternehmens zu sein, berechtigt nicht automatisch dazu, in diesem Land zu leben, zu arbeiten oder das Unternehmen von dort aus zu führen. Einwanderungsstatus, Arbeitserlaubnis, wirtschaftliche Substanz, Ort der tatsächlichen Geschäftsleitung und Steueransässigkeit werden gesondert geprüft.
