The SPF Finances is the Belgian government agency responsible for managing and collecting taxes, customs duties, and other government revenues. It plays a critical role in funding public services and infrastructure across the country. The Charleroi office, like other regional branches, serves as a crucial point of contact for citizens and businesses within its geographic area. Its primary functions revolve around ensuring compliance with Belgian tax laws and providing support to taxpayers. This includes assisting with filing tax returns, answering questions regarding tax obligations, and conducting audits to verify financial information. Specifically, the SPF Finances Charleroi handles a wide range of taxes, including personal income tax (impôt des personnes physiques/personenbelasting), corporate income tax (impôt des sociétés/vennootschapsbelasting), value-added tax (VAT or TVA/BTW), and property tax (précompte immobilier/onroerende voorheffing). It also deals with inheritance tax (droits de succession/successierechten) and registration duties (droits d'enregistrement/registratierechten) related to property transactions. The services offered at the Charleroi office are aimed at facilitating interaction between the public and the SPF Finances. Taxpayers can seek guidance on complex tax matters, obtain necessary forms and documents, and resolve disputes with the tax authorities. The office also plays a role in combating tax evasion and fraud by investigating suspicious financial activity and enforcing tax laws. Beyond direct interaction with the public, the SPF Finances Charleroi contributes to broader economic stability and government funding. By efficiently collecting tax revenue, it enables the government to invest in essential public services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure. This contributes to the overall well-being and development of the Charleroi region and the country as a whole. The office is staffed by a team of tax professionals, including inspectors, auditors, and administrative personnel. These individuals possess specialized knowledge of Belgian tax laws and procedures, and they are responsible for ensuring that these laws are applied fairly and consistently.

In recent years, the SPF Finances has increasingly embraced digitalization to improve its efficiency and accessibility.
