=================
|
||
|
||
You can reach the :guilabel:`Chart of accounts` by going to :menuselection:`Accounting -->
|
||
Configuration --> Accounting: Chart of Accounts`.
|
||
|
||
The Belgian chart of accounts includes pre-configured accounts as described in the :abbr:`PCMN(Plan
|
||
Comptable Minimum Normalisé)`. To add a new account, click :guilabel:`New`. A new line appears. Fill
|
||
it in, click :guilabel:`Save`, and then :guilabel:`Setup` to configure it further.

Taxes
|
||
=====
|
||
|
||
Default Belgian taxes are created automatically when the :guilabel:`Belgium - Accounting` and
|
||
the :guilabel:`Belgium - Accounting Reports` modules are installed. Each tax impacts the Belgian
|
||
:guilabel:`Tax Report`, available by going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Reporting -->
|
||
Statements Reports: Tax Report`.
|
||
|
||
In Belgium, the standard VAT rate is **21%**, but there are lower rates for some categories of goods
|
||
and services. An intermediate rate of **12%** is applied on social housing and food served in
|
||
restaurants, while a reduced rate of **6%** applies to most basic goods, such as food, water supply,
|
||
books, and medicine. A **0%** rate applies to some exceptional goods and services, such as some
|
||
daily and weekly publications, as well as recycled goods.
|
||
|
||
.. _belgium/non-deductible:
|
||
|
||
Non-deductible taxes
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
In Belgium, some taxes are not fully deductible, such as taxes on the maintenance of cars. This
|
||
means a part of these taxes is considered as an expense.
|
||
|
||
In Odoo, you can configure non-deductible taxes by creating tax rules for these taxes and linking
|
||
them to the corresponding accounts. This way, the system automatically calculates the taxes and
|
||
allocates them to the appropriate accounts.
|
||
|
||
To configure a new non-deductible tax, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration -->
|
||
Accounting: Taxes`, and click :guilabel:`New`:
|
||
|
||
#. :guilabel:`Add a line` and select :guilabel:`Base` in the :guilabel:`Based On` column;
|
||
#. :guilabel:`Add a line`, then select :guilabel:`on tax` in the :guilabel:`Based on` column and
|
||
enter the **non-deductible** percentage in the :guilabel:`%` column;
|
||
#. On the :guilabel:`of tax` line, select the :guilabel:`Tax Grid(s)` related to your tax;
|
||
#. :guilabel:`Add a line` with the **deductible** percentage in the :guilabel:`%` column;
|
||
#. Set :guilabel:`of tax` in :guilabel:`Based On`;
|
||
#. Select :guilabel:`411000 VAT recoverable` as account, and select the related tax grid.
|
||
|
||
Once you have created a non-deductible tax, you can apply it to your transactions by selecting the
|
||
appropriate tax during the encoding of bills and credit notes. The system automatically calculates
|
||
the tax amount and allocates it to the corresponding accounts based on the tax rules configured.
|
||
|
||
.. example::
|
||
With the Belgian localization, the **21% car** tax is created by default (50% non-deductible).

Disallowed expenses report
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
**Disallowed expenses** are expenses that can be deducted from your accounting result but not from
|
||
your fiscal result.
|
||
|
||
The **disallowed expenses report** is available by going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Reporting
|
||
--> Management: Disallowed Expenses`. It allows financial results in real-time, and periodic
|
||
changes. This report is generated based on the **disallowed expenses categories** that you can reach
|
||
by going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Management: Disallowed Expenses
|
||
Categories`. Some categories already exist by default but do not have any rates. Click on
|
||
:guilabel:`Set Rates` to update a specific category.
|
||
|
||
.. tip::
|
||
- You can add multiple rates for various dates. In that case, the rate used to calculate the
|
||
expense depends on the date at which it is calculated, and the rate set for that date.
|
||
- If you have the **Fleet** app installed, tick the :guilabel:`Car Category` box when applicable.
|
||
This makes the vehicle mandatory while booking a vendor bill.
|
||
|
||
To link a disallowed expenses category with a specific account, go to :menuselection:`Accounting -->
|
||
Configuration --> Accounting: Chart of Accounts`. Find the account you want, and click on
|
||
:guilabel:`Setup`. Add the :guilabel:`Disallowed Expense category` in the :guilabel:`Disallowed
|
||
Expenses` field. From now, when an expense is created with this account, the disallowed expense is
|
||
calculated based on the rate mentioned in the :guilabel:`Disallowed Expense category`.
|
||
|
||
Let's take an example reflecting **restaurant** and **car expenses**.
|
||
|
||
.. _belgium/restaurant-expenses:
|
||
|
||
Restaurant expenses
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
In Belgium, 31% of **restaurant** expenses are non-deductible. Create a new **disallowed expenses
|
||
category** and set both :guilabel:`Related Account(s)` and :guilabel:`Current Rate`.

||

||
|
||
.. _belgium/vehicle-split:
|
||
|
||
Car expenses: vehicle split
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
In Belgium, the deductible percentage varies from car to car and, therefore, should be indicated for
|
||
each vehicle. To do so, open :menuselection:`Fleet` and select a vehicle. In the :guilabel:`Tax
|
||
info` tab, go to the :guilabel:`Disallowed Expenses Rate` section and click on :guilabel:`Add a
|
||
line`. Add a :guilabel:`Start Date` and a :guilabel:`%`. The amounts go in the same account for all
|
||
car expenses.
|
||
|
||
When you create a bill for car expenses, you can link each expense to a specific car by filling the
|
||
:guilabel:`Vehicle` column, so the right percentage is applied.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: belgium/car-bill.png
|
||
:alt: Disallowed expenses categories
|
||
|
||
The :guilabel:`vehicle split` option available in the disallowed expenses report allows you to see
|
||
the rate and disallowed amount for each car.

.. _belgium/281.50:
|
||
|
||
Fee form 281.50
|
||
---------------
|
||
|
||
Annually, a **281.50 fee form** must be reported to the fiscal authorities. To do so, the tag
|
||
`281.50` must be added on the **contact form** of the entities concerned by the **281.50** fee. To
|
||
add the tag, open :menuselection:`Contacts`, select the person or company you want to create a
|
||
**281.50 fee form** for, and add the `281.50` tag in the :guilabel:`Tags` field.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: belgium/281-50.png
|
||
:alt: add the tag 281.50 on a contact form
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
Make sure the **street, zip code, country**, and **VAT number** are also informed on the
|
||
**Contact form**.
|
||
|
||
Then, depending on the nature of the expense, add the corresponding `281.50` tag on the impact
|
||
accounts. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Accounting: Chart of
|
||
Accounts`, and click on :guilabel:`Setup` to add the corresponding `281.50` tag on the impacted
|
||
accounts, i.e., :guilabel:`281.50 - Commissions`, depending on the nature of the expense.
|
||
|
||
.. _belgium/325:
|
||
|
||
Form 325
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
You can create a **325 form** by going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Reporting --> Belgium:
|
||
Create 325 form`. A new page pops up: select the right options and click :guilabel:`Generate 325
|
||
form`. To open an already generated **325 form**, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Reporting -->
|
||
Belgium: Open 325 forms`.

CodaBox
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
**CodaBox** is a service that allows Belgian accounting firms to access their clients' bank
|
||
information and statements. Odoo provides a way to import such statements automatically.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
As an accounting firm, you must manage your clients on separate databases and configure them
|
||
individually to avoid mixing up their data. The connection must be made by the accounting firm
|
||
with valid CodaBox Connect credentials.
|
||
|
||
Configuration
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
The configuration must be done on each client database. In the following
|
||
instructions, we will refer to your client's company as *Company* and to your
|
||
accounting firm as *Accounting Firm*.
|
||
|
||
You must first :ref:`install <general/install>` :guilabel:`CodaBox` to start.
|
||
|
||
.. important::
|
||
Make sure the company settings are correctly configured, i.e., the country is set to
|
||
:guilabel:`Belgium`, the :guilabel:`Tax ID` and :guilabel:`Accounting Firm` fields are filled, as
|
||
well as the :guilabel:`Tax ID` of the :guilabel:`Accounting Firm`.

:guilabel:`Accounting Firm VAT` number and the :guilabel:`Company VAT` number that will be used
|
||
for the connection.
|
||
#. If this is your **first connection**, click on :guilabel:`Create connection`.
|
||
The wizard confirms that the connection has been created on **Odoo's side**. Follow the steps
|
||
to validate the connection on **CodaBox's side**, too.
|
||
|
||
If this is **not your first connection**, the :guilabel:`Accounting Firm Password` provided by
|
||
Odoo during the first connection will be requested to create a new connection.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
This :guilabel:`Accounting Firm Password` is unique to Odoo and must be stored securely
|
||
on your side.
|

|
||
The :guilabel:`Status` should have now switched to :guilabel:`Connected`.
|
||
|
||
Synchronization
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
Once the connection is established, Odoo can be synchronized with CodaBox.
|
||
|
||
.. tabs::
|
||
|
||
.. tab:: For CODA files
|
||
|
||
CODA files are automatically imported from CodaBox every 12 hours. You do

not have to do anything. However, if you wish, it can also be done manually,
|
||
by clicking on :guilabel:`Fetch from CodaBox` in the Accounting Dashboard.
|
||
|
||
.. tab:: For SODA files
|
||
|
||
SODA files are automatically imported from CodaBox once a day as a draft. You do not have to
|
||
do anything. However, if you wish, it can also be done manually by clicking on
|
||
:guilabel:`Fetch from CodaBox` in the Accounting Dashboard.
|
||
|
||
By default, if an account in the SODA file is not mapped to an account in Odoo, the Suspense
|
||
Account (499000) is used, and a note is added to the created journal entry.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
You can access the mapping between the SODA and Odoo accounts by going to
|
||
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings` and clicking on the
|
||
:guilabel:`Open SODA Mapping` button in the :guilabel:`CodaBox` section.
|
||

|
||
Potential issues
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
* **CodaBox is not configured. Please check your configuration.**
|
||
|
||
Either the :guilabel:`Company VAT` or the :guilabel:`Accounting Firm VAT` is not set.
|
||
|
||
* **No connection exists with these accounting firms and company VAT numbers.**
|
||
**Please check your configuration.**
|
||
|
||
This can happen when checking the connection status, and the :guilabel:`Accounting Firm VAT` and
|
||
:guilabel:`Company VAT` combination still needs to be registered. This may happen if you have
|
||
changed the :guilabel:`Company VAT` after the connection was established. For security reasons,
|
||
you have to :ref:`recreate a connection <belgium/codabox-configuration-connection>`
|
||
for this :guilabel:`Company VAT`.
|
||
|
||
* **It seems that your CodaBox connection is not valid anymore. Please connect again.**
|
||
|
||
This can happen if you revoke Odoo's access to your CodaBox account or still need to complete
|
||
the configuration process. In this case, you must revoke the connection and create a new one.
|
||
|
||
* **The provided password is not valid for this accounting firm.**
|
||
**You must reuse the password you received from Odoo during your first connection.**
|
||
|
||
The password you provided is different from the one you received from Odoo during your first
|
||
connection. You must use the password you received from Odoo during your first connection to
|
||
create a new connection for this accounting firm. If you have lost your password, you must first
|
||
revoke the Odoo connection on CodaBox's side (i.e., on your myCodaBox portal). Then, you can
|
||
revoke the connection on Odoo's side and
|
||
:ref:`create a new one <belgium/codabox-configuration-connection>`.
|
||
|
||
* **It seems that the company or accounting firm VAT number you provided is not valid.**
|
||
**Please check your configuration.**
|
||
|
||
Either the :guilabel:`Company VAT` or the :guilabel:`Accounting Firm VAT` is not in a valid
|
||
Belgian format.
|
||
|
||
* **It seems that the accounting firm VAT number you provided does not exist in CodaBox.**
|
||
**Please check your configuration.**
|
||
|
||
The :guilabel:`Accounting Firm VAT` number you provided is not registered in CodaBox.
|
||
You may not have a valid CodaBox license linked to this VAT number.
|
||
|
||
* **It seems you have already created a connection to CodaBox with this accounting firm.**
|
||
**To create a new connection, you must first revoke the old one on myCodaBox portal.**
|
||
|
||
You must go to your myCodaBox portal and revoke Odoo's access to your CodaBox account.
|
||
Then, you can :ref:`create a new connection <belgium/codabox-configuration-connection>`
|
||
on Odoo's side.
|
||
|
||
.. tip::
|
||
To revoke the connection between Odoo and CodaBox, go to
|
||
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings`, scroll down to the
|
||
:guilabel:`CodaBox` section, click on :guilabel:`Manage Connection`, then click on
|
||
:guilabel:`Revoke`.
|
||
|
||
Electronic invoicing
|
||
====================
|
||
|
||
Odoo supports the **Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 (UBL)** electronic invoicing format. To enable it for a
|
||
customer, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers --> Customers`, open their contact form,
|
||
and under the :guilabel:`Accounting` tab, select the :guilabel:`Peppol BIS Billing 3.0` format.

Cash discount
|
||
=============
|
||
|
||
In Belgium, if an early payment discount is offered on an invoice, the tax is calculated based on
|
||
the discounted total amount, whether the customer benefits from the discount or not.
|
||
|
||
To apply the right tax amount and report it correctly in your VAT return, set the tax reduction as
|
||
:guilabel:`Always (upon invoice)`.

Fiscal certification: POS restaurant
|
||
====================================
|
||
|
||
In Belgium, the owner of a cooking business such as a restaurant or food truck is required by law to
|
||
use a government-certified **Cash Register System** for their receipts. This applies if their yearly
|
||
earnings (excluding VAT, drinks, and take-away food) exceed 25,000 euros.
|
||
|
||
This government-certified system entails the use of a :ref:`certified POS system
|
||
<belgium/certified-pos>`, along with a device called a :ref:`Fiscal Data Module <belgium/fdm>` (or
|
||
**black box**) and a :ref:`VAT Signing Card <belgium/vat>`.

A `certified POS system <https://www.systemedecaisseenregistreuse.be/systemes-certifies>`_ must

Fiscal Data Module (FDM)
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
An FDM, or **black box**, is a government-certified device that works together with the Point of
|
||
Sale application and saves your POS orders information. Concretely, a **hash** (:dfn:`unique code`)
|
||
is generated for each POS order and added to its receipt. This allows the government to verify that
|
||
all revenue is declared.
|
||
|
||
.. warning::
|
||
Only the FDM from **Boîtenoire.be** with the `FDM certificate number BMC04
|
||
<https://www.systemedecaisseenregistreuse.be/fr/systemes-certifies#FDM%20certifiés>`_ is
|
||
supported by Odoo. `Contact the manufacturer (GCV BMC) <https://www.boîtenoire.be/contact>`_ to
|
||
order one.
|
||
|
||
Configuration
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
Before setting up your database to work with an FDM, ensure you have the following hardware:
|
||
|
||
- a **Boîtenoire.be** (certificate number BMC04) FDM;
|
||
- an RS-232 serial null modem cable per FDM;
|
||
- an RS-232 serial-to-USB adapter per FDM;
|
||
- an :ref:`IoT Box <belgium/iotbox>` (one IoT box per FDM); and
|
||
- a receipt printer.

****************
|
||
|
||
As a pre-requisite, :ref:`activate <general/install>` the `Belgian Registered Cash Register` module
|
||
(technical name: `pos_blackbox_be`).

Once the module is activated, add your VAT number to your company information. To set it up, go to
|
||
:menuselection:`Settings --> Companies --> Update Info`, and fill in the :guilabel:`VAT` field.
|
||
Then, enter a national registration number for every staff member who operates the POS system. To do
|
||
so, go to the :guilabel:`Employees` app and open an employee form. There, go to :menuselection:`HR
|
||
settings tab --> Attendance/Point of Sale`, and fill in the :guilabel:`INSZ or BIS number` field.

IoT Box
|
||
*******
|
||
|
||
In order to use an :abbr:`FDM (Fiscal Data Module)`, you need a registered IoT Box. To register your
|
||
IoT box, you must contact us through our `support contact form <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_ and
|
||
provide the following information:
|
||
|
||
- your VAT number;
|
||
- your company's name, address, and legal structure; and
|
||
- the Mac address of your IoT Box.
|
||
|
||
Once your IoT box is certified, :doc:`connect <../../general/iot/connect>` it to your database. To
|
||
verify that the IoT Box recognizes the FDM, go to the IoT homepage and scroll down the
|
||
:guilabel:`IOT Device` section, which should display the FDM.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: belgium/iot-devices.png
|
||
:alt: Hardware status page on a registered IoT Box
|
||
|
||
Then, add the IoT to your POS. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Point of Sale --> Configuration -->
|
||
Point of Sale`, select your POS, scroll down to the :guilabel:`Connected Device` section, and enable
|
||
:guilabel:`IoT Box`. Lastly, add the FMD in the :guilabel:`Fiscal Data Module` field.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
To be able to use an FDM, you must at least connect one :guilabel:`Receipt Printer`.
