For companies looking for a payroll partner
Payroll company in Belgium: your wages and returns with one fixed partner
A payroll company in Belgium calculates your wages every month under your joint committee, withholds the contributions and the withholding tax, and files the quarterly return with the NSSO. Business Centrum takes that over as your fixed partner in Ghent, also if you are a foreign company with an establishment in Belgium. You pay the wages, we do the rest.
What payroll in Belgium involves
Belgian payroll is more than a payslip. It includes:
A wage under the joint committee
Every employer falls under a joint committee that sets minimum wages, bonuses and indexation. In JC 200, the auxiliary committee for white-collar workers, wages rose on 1 January 2026 by 2.21%. More in the guide to JC 200.
Dimona and DmfA
Every employee gets a Dimona before he starts. Every quarter, wages and hours go to the NSSO with the DmfA. See what the DmfA is.
Contributions and withholding tax
On the gross wage you generally withhold 13.07% employee contribution, then the withholding tax for the FPS Finance. On top of the gross wage you pay the employer contributions. Read what withholding tax is.
What Business Centrum takes over for you
This is what we take over:
- The right joint committee and the wage that comes with it
- Monthly [payroll processing](/diensten/loonadministratie/), with payslip
- Every Dimona, before the first working day
- The indexation and bonuses of your committee
- The quarterly return and contributions, through Acerta
- Every month an overview of what you pay in wages, NSSO and withholding tax
What is left for you
You pass on the hours worked and pay the wages yourself. We tell you which amount goes to whom.
Business Centrum is a payroll and HR office and your fixed contact in Ghent. Returns to the NSSO go through Acerta, a recognised social secretariat.
A foreign company with an establishment in Belgium
If your company works here through an establishment, Belgian rules apply to your staff in Belgium:
A partner who knows the Belgian rules
Committee, index, Dimona and DmfA are specific to Belgium. We follow them up for your employees here, with a fixed contact person in Ghent.
No establishment in Belgium?
A company can still register as an employer with the NSSO, or work with an employer of record. The difference is explained under employer of record in Belgium.
