A specific approach to payroll and HR management

Together with clients, RSM has developed a specific approach to payroll and HR management. We have various service levels ranging from a full outsourcing of the entire HR and payroll to RSM to just processing payroll based on the instructions of your internal HR department. RSM can handle your payroll administration from A to Z as if we were your internal HR department. 

If necessary, this assistance can be much more intensive than the service offered by regular payroll providers. Such intense guidance is ideal for companies with limited HR resources in Belgium or with limited knowledge of (Belgian) employment legislation. We offer payroll and HR services tailor-made to your specific needs. Employing personnel in Belgium certainly involves navigating a complex web of tax, labour and social regulations, so let us help you to find your way safely! 

You want RSM Payroll and HR Solutions to manage your employee related payments? We can open a trust account on your behalf to ensure payment of the monthly salaries to your employees and suppliers as well as the timely payment of tax and social security. In addition, RSM Payroll and HR Solutions is part of our Global Employer Services business line, meaning that our payroll and HR consultants have direct access to our tax and immigration consultants ensuring that the (international) tax and immigration aspects are handled appropriately. Because of this close cooperation with our tax consultants, setting up a salary split or applying the Belgian special tax regime will be a piece of cake. 

Our cooperation brings you to the next level

A good example to illustrate the cooperation between RSM Payroll and HR Solutions and the tax consultants is the application of the research & development withholding tax exemption. 

One of Belgium’s objectives is to dedicate part of the GDP to R&D. Considering the important role of companies in this respect, several fiscal measures exist to stimulate R&D. One of these measures is the R&D withholding tax exemption. This states that a company is exempt from transferring up to 80% of the tax withheld from the employees’ salaries to the Belgian tax authorities. Certain requirements with respect to the companies and the employees should be fulfilled. 

While the tax consultants offer your company guidance in obtaining and maintaining this benefit, RSM Payroll and HR Solutions takes care of the practical implementation in the payroll, together with the tax consultants.
