LUNCH DEBATE : 05 MARCH 2026

VAT rules applicable to research work funded by international organizations
In October 2025, the Belgian VAT authorities new administrative guidance clarifying the VAT treatment of research activities financed by international organisations under certain grant agreements. The instruction recalls the general VAT principles applicable to grants while clarifying the conditions under which purchases made for EU-funded or other internationally funded research programmes can benefit from a specific VAT exemption. Given the increasing number of collaborative research projects supported by the EU, this clarification is particularly relevant for NPO participating in such programmes.
During the lunch-debate, we will present these new directives while also revisiting the general VAT principles governing grant agreements
