360° Solution for your Belgian construction project

In collaboration with Deloitte Legal - Lawyers

Navigating Belgium’s complex regulatory landscape can be a major challenge for foreign construction companies. Strict rules around tax, legal compliance, immigration, social security, and payroll require careful attention to avoid hefty penalties, site shutdowns, and reputational damage.

Understanding the Challenges

Each stage of a construction project in Belgium comes with its own set of workforce-related risks and compliance requirements. From tendering and mobilisation to construction and project completion, companies must be vigilant to manage these effectively.

Belgium’s regulatory framework is complex and non-compliance can lead to serious consequences. A comprehensive, 360° approach is essential to identify and mitigate risks early. This includes implementing robust contractual safeguards and ensuring all workforce-related obligations are met.

Key Areas to Focus On

Tax and Social Security: Correct classification of workers and adherence to social security contributions are critical.

  • Immigration: Ensuring all foreign workers have the necessary permits and documentation.
  • Legal Compliance: Understanding local labour laws and employment regulations.
  • Payroll: Accurate and timely payroll processing in line with Belgian standards.
