Yes. The VAT is already in the forecast, and cash stays above that low point.

Ask it a Belgian tax question. Right now.

Counzelor answers from Belgian law and shows the official source. Connect your books and it answers about your company too.

No account needed. Counzelor reads Belgian law and cites its source — that takes a few seconds longer than a chatbot. Official sources: Fisconet, CNC, Justel. General information, not advice.

The pressure today

Running a Belgian company keeps getting heavier.

Three pressures are tightening on every owner-managed company right now — and not one of them is easing.

Changing faster

Rules that keep moving

VAT, corporate tax and reporting duties change every year — and nobody tells you which change is yours.
Blind spot

Cash you cannot see coming

Your balance tells you about today. It says nothing about the VAT, the tax bill, or the month after next.
Costly to ask

Advice priced by the hour

The questions worth asking are the ones you skip — asking costs money, and not asking costs more.

Every hour on admin is an hour you cannot spend on customers.

Reads your books

Odoo or Exact, read‑only. Not a form you fill in.

Cites the law

Every figure links to the article behind it.

You confirm

Every write is shown as a change you approve first.

Pay yourself right

Optimised across every legal route. Grounded in Belgian law.

Every route to pay yourself has a price per euro and a legal limit. Counzel fills the cheapest routes first, up to their limit, from your actual books.

  • Limits enforced, not suggested — the € 51.000 salary condition, the 80 % pension rule, arm's‑length rent, the 30/70 copyright cap.
  • Every figure carries its article. The full calculation is one click away.

What reaches you, per € 100 of profit, by route

Every rule checked

A dividend is taxed twice — the company first, then you. Pay the company can deduct is taxed once. Counzel moves your profit from the first path to the second, up to each route's legal limit.

Every legal combination is tested against the rule that binds it; the one that puts most in your account wins. Each figure links to its article. Example data.

See your cash · forecast included

See the VAT bill in July, not in October.

  • Actuals from the ledger, then a 13‑week forecast — with a likely range, not a single number.
  • Seasonally adjusted from your own history; anomalies flagged against your twelve‑month baseline.
  • VAT and tax set‑asides placed on the forecast, with their dates.
  • Ask a question in words, get a chart, keep it.
  • Plan the year on the same numbers — budget, hires, actual against plan.
