Tax rules for the public sector differ from the ordinary tax rules that apply to the nonprofit sector in many ways.
Furthermore, the social context is of great importance as well.
Tiberghien has extensive experience in assisting nonprofit organisations (private trusts, foundations of public utility, (internationally acting) nonprofit associations ((i)vzw) and organisations with a social purpose (vso)) and companies for adapted work in all shapes and sizes, from healthcare institutions over cultural enterprises to trade associations, with tax law matters. Our team follows a multidisciplinary approach, while bearing in mind the social context nonprofit organisations and companies for adapted work operate in and the relationships with their stakeholders.
