A client listing is a report submitted to the tax authorities, listing the Belgian VAT numbers of B2B clients who received goods or services exceeding €250 (excluding VAT) in the previous year.
A nil client listing is submitted when no reportable transactions occurred with VAT-taxable B2B clients exceeding a total of €250 during the calendar year
Starting in 2026, businesses under the franchise VAT regime must also submit a client listing, even if it’s empty.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
