Hi everyone...maybe one of you can reccommend an accountant...my situation is this. I am preparing to move from Italy to Belgium. I plan on keeping my Italian freelance work at least for the first few months in belgium, but possibly permanently if the job market is as bad there as it sounds! I know there is a double taxation agreement which says I could pay taxes in italy only and stay a resident there, but the truth is I want to get the hell out of Italy! It's a nightmare. I want to pay into the belgian social security system and have medical care if I need it...Other than paying taxes in BOTH countries I'm not sure what my options are. If anyone can recommend a person who might be able to make sense of this, I'll be forever grateful. An email address would probably be better since I'm not in belgium yet <img src="../images/emoticons/bbutbut.gif">

Try Burco in Brussels <a href="http://www.burco.be" Target="_BLANK">www.burco.be</a>

They belong to an international network of accountants so should be able to help in cross-border issues.

What an excellent website! I found so much information there and have contacted them to see if they can help me. Thanks for the tip!
