Tax shelter explained

Earlier this year Participium was a guest at Mazars for an info session on tax shelter for start-ups. The info session was aimed at (future) private investors who want to invest in young promising companies and fully exploit the tax benefits.

With his extensive expertise in tax & accountancy, Peter De Vos of Mazars comprehensively explained the legal and fiscal aspects of the tax shelter.

Because the attendees were very enthousiastic about what they had learned that evening and because we are convinced that the information can be interesting for any (potential) investor, we shared Peter’s full presentation (in Dutch) on the Participium YouTube channel and at the bottom of this news item. We have put the slides of Peter’s presentation in the video, so you don’t have to miss a thing of the interesting session.

Successful event on tax shelter for start-ups

April 27th Jan Lagast was invited as a guest speaker at Mazars for an info session on tax shelter for start-ups. The info session focused on (future) private investors who want to invest in young promising companies and fully enjoy the tax benefits the Belgium government provides.

It was a convivial meeting in the former living room of baron Braun on the top floor of the renowned UCO tower in Ghent, where the accountancy department of Mazars has its offices.

Based on his vast expertise in tax & accountancy Peter De Vos (Mazars) gave a clear explanation on the legal and the financial aspects of the tax shelter. Later Jan Lagast gave – from his first-hand experience as company builder with Participium – advice on how to inquire whether or not a company is worth your investment.

Afterwards, the public of (future) investors seemed very positive about what they had learned that night.
