    Need advice - UK self employed working in Belgium

    Hi everyone,

    This is my first time on this forum so bear with me, but I need some advice! Any advice is appreciated

    A little about my situation:

    - I am Australian on a long-term UK visa
    - I moved to Brussels in September and was working cash in hand as an intern for a small start up.
    - They decided to keep me after my 3 month contract, if I became self-employed. It is a full-time contract working only for them
    - I have my UK self employment number but just got an email from HMRC saying that I must register and pay taxes in Belgium (not the UK)
    - I get paid €1000 / month but I have yet to be paid yet. I am only here until July so I have 6 months (€6000 total income) that is taxable.

    Questions:
    - I am registered with the Belgian commune. Do I need to register with anything else?
    - Will I need to pay tax/ social security if I am earning so little?
    - Any other advice/ things I should know?

    Thank you for any help or advice you can offer!
