This week, the book ‘Copyrights and Taxes’ by Bart Van Besien and Bart Buelens was published by Gompel & Svacina.

This book gives a practical overview of the favourable tax treatment of copyright royalties in Belgium. To which income does this taks regime apply? Which works are protected by copyright? Which costs can be deducted? How do the tax authorities (the Ruling Commission, tax inspectors, etc.) perceive this? Does tax optimisation differ from sector to sector? What about the VAT on copyright fees? Etc.
