What to do now

  1. Stop delivering on credit unless the trustee agrees.
  2. Gather your documents: invoices, purchase orders, contract, delivery notes and reminders.
  3. File your proof of claim in RegSol (regsol.be), yourself with eID or itsme, or through your lawyer. State principal, interest and costs separately, and any preferential right you hold.
  4. Delivered under retention of title? Reclaim your goods before the first report on the verification of claims.
  5. Ask your accountant about the VAT on the unpaid invoices: in a bankruptcy it can be recovered, subject to conditions.
  6. Follow the file in RegSol: the verification report (admitted or disputed) and the trustee's reports appear there.

These deadlines come from the publication of the judgment. Check them in RegSol before you file anything; once a deadline has passed, it is too late for that step.

The financial year that closed on 31-12-2024 was due by 31-07-2025 and was filed on 30-08-2025, 30 days later. Nearly half (47%) of Belgian companies file late; of those that file 1 to 90 days late, 2.0% are now bankrupt, dissolved or in another special legal status, against 1.66% of all filers. A delay like this does not count in the score.
