Access to documents and applications with the APIs of the FOD Finance
The Belgian Federal Government (FOD Finance) wants to facilitate data exchange between taxpayers and the FOD Finance via the use of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). API connections hold obvious advantages: they reduce the frequency of logins, clicks and actions when navigating file management. Specifically, with reference to the FOD Finance, the benefits extend to:
- Consulting documents from the FOD Finance directly from an accountancy software package
- Submitting periodic VAT returns.
For enablement, software package developers must link the FOD Finance APIs to their own software packages.
Further information on the APIs can be located via the following website:
