Taxation is at the heart of all economic activity, whether it involves structuring a project, supporting its development or securing its operations, in Belgium and internationally. It has a lasting influence on the strategic choices of companies and the economic behaviour of individuals, particularly in the management and transfer of their assets.
Janson Tax, Janson's tax department, supports companies, non-profit organisations and individuals in all their tax matters, with a rigorous and pragmatic approach. We favour a close relationship with our clients in order to offer clear, effective tax solutions that are adapted to a constantly changing legal environment. We assist and represent our clients in both advisory and litigation matters and, where appropriate, in tax conciliation proceedings and advance ruling requests.
Janson Tax is composed of experienced partner solicitors who are directly involved in handling their clients' cases. They are recognised for their theoretical expertise, with some also pursuing academic activities, and for their practical experience. They are supported by dynamic and committed associates who are dedicated to serving our clients.
