Very interesting article about working in Belgium here

Not sure it will help but it is an interesting read particulary for the OP this section. Might not be directly related but should give him the idea he needs to do it right..
The exchange of information between the tax authorities of Belgium and the UK is increasing. This makes it more likely the Belgian Tax Office will become aware your UKLC’s operations may constitute a PE. This is irrespective of the fact you can show ongoing full declaration on your UK company account submissions and on your UK self-assessments.
The consequences can be serious.
Dependent on the time your UKLC has been operating in Belgium, it could become liable for tax in Belgium going back up to 3 years (if only deemed a civil misdemeanour) or up to 7 years (if the non-declaration is deemed a fraudulent act).
Additional interest and penalties, which can be severe, may also be due.
Perhaps worst of all, you could end up with a criminal record.
