Deductible if exclusive to your profession

Registration fees for your professional association are fully deductible. What's more, VAT is recoverable if you have a proper invoice. Here are a few examples:

  • Order of Architects

  • Bar Association

  • Medical Association

  • Order of Veterinary Surgeons

  • Order of Pharmacists

  • Conférence du Jeune Barreau (Brussels, Liège, Namur, Walloon Brabant...)

  • Association of Professional Journalists

  • Belgian Association of Nursing Practitioners

Professional dues are exclusive to your profession, unlike dues to a service club (Rotary, Round Table, Lions...). The latter are not deductible, unless you can prove that the membership enables you to establish and maintain business contacts (in which case it becomes 50% deductible entertainment expenses ).

💡 Membership dues to a cultural or sports club are not business dues unless you can prove that your income has been maintained or increased thanks to this expense. In this case, the membership fee paid becomes a reception expense.
