Implementing cooperative tax compliance in Belgium

The Commission is supporting Belgium in the pilot phase of a cooperative Tax Compliance Programme. The objective is to improve voluntary tax compliance and create a sustainable framework for mobilising tax revenue. The implementation of the Tax Compliance Programme is supported through tailored expert support in:

• building new relationships with large taxpayers, in particular through strengthening soft skills in the administration and creating awareness among taxpayers;
• implementing a tax control framework and related cooperative compliance assessment techniques;
• exchanging good practices and experiences on cooperative compliance, with experts from specialised units of other EU Member States’ administrations and academia.
