SOFIDIX TAXACCOUNTING

Sofidix Taxaccounting is an accounting, tax advisory and business management firm set up as a private limited company on boulevard Industriel in Anderlecht. It is approved by the ITAA under number 50.729.481, and its partners are also members of the Belgian Order of Chartered and Certified Accountants. The firm grew out of the partnership of Thierry Wasterlain and Tahar Hmida, who had worked together for many years in the same accounting firm before merging their practices to give their clients a stronger structure.

The client base is broad. It includes groups of property companies and holding companies, sometimes consolidated, as well as SMEs, liberal professions, self-employed people and small businesses in general, non-profits, private and public-benefit foundations and private individuals. The firm takes care of all their accounting and tax obligations and sets the scope and nature of its work in agreement with each client. It highlights a welcoming, attentive and close relationship, with the aim of turning figures into useful advice.

In accounting, Sofidix handles the statutory work: filing documents, a chart of accounts suited to the business, keeping the books, internal balance sheet and income statement, preparing and electronically filing the annual accounts and the National Bank's statistical surveys. It can add management tools: periodic statements with commentary, cost accounting kept alongside the general ledger to understand how results are made up, customised dashboards, forecast budgets and variance analysis.

In direct tax, the firm files personal income tax returns via Tax-on-web as an authorised representative, and corporate and legal entities tax returns via Biztax. It handles the director's payroll withholding tax, 281.20 and 281.50 forms, withholding tax on dividends and interest, and the reporting of foreign bank accounts to the Central Contact Point. It assists and represents clients during tax audits, answers information requests and notices of adjustment, and files objections against disputed assessments.

For VAT, Sofidix files periodic and special returns, the intra-community listing and the annual client listing, handles registration, change and deregistration formalities, claims foreign VAT refunds, checks the client's current account with the tax authority and helps set up certified cash registers in hospitality. It also prepares the annual tax replacing inheritance duties that non-profits must pay, and works with notaries and lawyers on registration and inheritance duties.

The social security side covers self-employed contributions, their review or reduction during the year, and additional cover: disability, accident and hospitalisation insurance, supplementary pension schemes for the self-employed, individual pension commitments and pension savings. The firm studies incorporation and alternative remuneration. Finally, it divides a business's life into three phases, launch, growth and transfer, and supports each one: choice of legal form, separation of private and business assets, business plan and financial plan at the start, then planning the material and human side of growth.
