Notice. Belgium has no single national scheme — registration requirements differ by region (Brussels, Flanders, Wallonia); verify the region-specific rule before assuming a Brussels registration covers a Flanders property or vice versa.
How to register in Belgium
- In Brussels: register via the Brussels Economy and Employment portal to obtain a tourist accommodation registration number before listing.
- In Flanders: notify Toerisme Vlaanderen online under the Logiesdecreet, even for occasional letting, and display the issued registration number.
- Check the applicable VAT rate on furnished short-term accommodation (6% in 2025, a rise to 12% possible in 2026).
- Collect and remit the municipal tourist tax where applicable.
