As a self-employed individual without staff, it is essential that your business is financially healthy. At PIA Go!, we help you create a financial plan that is fully tailored to your situation as a sole proprietorship. This way, you are stronger, you spot growth opportunities faster and you avoid unpleasant surprises.
Becoming self-employed offers more freedom and flexibility, but it also comes with greater administrative responsibilities. Your tax return is one of them. For a sole proprietorship, this is done through personal income tax. This return includes all your income and allows the tax authorities to calculate the tax due. Understanding how it works helps you avoid mistakes and manage your tax situation more effectively.

You're off work due to illness and temporarily unable to work for your employer. But you also run a side business. Can you continue working on it? That depends on your situation. If you're only on sick leave for a short period, your employer, your employment contract, workplace policies and any medical checks are the main factors to consider. If your illness lasts longer or you're receiving sickness benefits, you'll also need to follow the rules of your health insurance fund.
Als eenmanszaak ben je vaak tegelijk ondernemer, planner, boekhouder, verkoper en marketeer. Je agenda loopt snel vol en voor je het weet staat alles op de eerste plaats… behalve jijzelf. Nog snel een mail beantwoorden. Die offerte afwerken. Een klant terugbellen. Het hoort allemaal bij ondernemen. Maar wanneer sta je nog eens stil bij je eigen welzijn? Zelfzorg klinkt soms als iets vaags of luxueus, maar eigenlijk is het heel simpel: hoe zorg jij ervoor dat je goed blijft functioneren terwijl je een zaak runt?

As a sole proprietor, you mainly want one thing: accurate accounting that does not take up all your time. Fortunately, there are many digital solutions available today to help you with this.

Running a sole proprietorship means wearing many hats: entrepreneur, salesperson, marketer, and administrator all at once. It’s no surprise that you’re looking for an accountant who takes your business seriously and ensures your bookkeeping is correct. Unfortunately, choosing the right accountant isn’t always easy. Do you go for a large accounting firm? A digital solution? Or something in between? One thing is certain: at PIA Go!, we believe sole proprietors deserve a tailored approach. And that’s exactly what makes the difference.
As a starting sole proprietor, sleep is sometimes something you “catch up on later.” First one more email, then that quote, and oh yes: your accounting… Before you know it, you’re lying in bed with a mind that keeps spinning like a browser tab you can’t close. And yet, almost everything starts with sleep. Not because some health guru says so, but because without a good night’s rest, you’re simply less sharp, less cheerful and less yourself. And that just happens to be your greatest asset in your business.
Are you still using paper invoices or PDFs via email as a sole proprietor? Then now is the time to take action. From January 1, 2026, Peppol will become mandatory for B2B invoices in Belgium.

Buying a brand-new car is not always necessary or financially possible. Many self-employed professionals operating as sole traders therefore opt for a second-hand car. This choice is often financially attractive. However, the tax treatment is a bit more technical. What about VAT? What share of the costs can you deduct? And how should the purchase be recorded correctly in your accounts? Here is what you need to know to avoid any issues during a tax audit.
Meal vouchers are best known as a popular extra-legal benefit for employees. But did you know they can also be interesting for you as a self-employed individual with a sole proprietorship? There is, however, an important nuance: your sole proprietorship cannot grant meal vouchers to yourself. You do not pay yourself a salary in the legal sense of the word. Meal vouchers only come into play once you employ staff.
Offering gift vouchers is a popular way to thank clients, employees, or business partners. It’s simple, flexible, and easy to use. From a tax perspective, however, the situation is slightly more technical. What about VAT on gift vouchers? Can they be recorded as professional expenses in your sole proprietorship? And how should you record them correctly in your accounting? Here are the key rules you need to know to use gift vouchers with confidence, without unpleasant surprises during your next tax return.
