Bottom line, OP assumed that Belgium has the same way of working as the UK...
I've worked across the world and pretty much every country has a different way of working (greater/lessor extent), especially when in a B2B environment.

Working on a visit visa or Schengen visa is an absolute no-no. USA a bit more lax.

If the business is conducted by the two companies, contract clearly set out, I am not sure that it matters if you go there on a visitor visa and do some work for them. It would matter if you went there, got paid there as an individual.

Originally posted by sal View PostOP describes Business to Business arrangements and has nothing to do with his personal freedom of work and movement inside the EU. Now imagine if OP had to add the mess of securing a Visa and sponsorship for said visa to the equation. Most likely result would have been instant drop of his application by the Client, no one likes hassle.

There is freedom of work and movement for Belgium, unfortunately you have believed the lies and spin of the EDL/BNP/UKIP etc.

Last thing I want to do is cheese off HMRC or their Belgian counterparts, so like I say, I'll operate within their view of the parameters but I'll not fall about laughing if the rate of tax & social security between the two countries overall comes out around 70%!
I'm actually looking forward to sending a post with the final outcome of all of this which I hope will be this week.

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostI think the OP was researching this and saw that he could do it but the client wouldn't let him. The fact the client is refusing to do it this way indicates there is some tax issues which the OP isn't aware off.
