Remuneration

Send your online declaration

All liable parties must send a declaration to Auvibel each month before the 20th day following the month to which the declaration refers (via email, post or online).

The private copying remuneration is due from the moment the device or medium is put on Belgian territory.

The upcoming changes will extend the scope of the private copying remuneration from 1 April 2022 to new products such as consumer computers, (stand-alone and multifunction) consumer printers (inkjet) and e-readers. In addition there will be changes to the tariffs for devices and storage media by the royal decree of 18 February 2022. What is also new is that refurbished devices will from now on be subject to a tariff equivalent to 60% of the tariff for a new device.

You can find the list of products subject to remuneration and the new tariffs applied from 1 April 2022 here.

Additional rules for declaration, payment and invoicing

Additional rules for declaration

The private copying levy is due from the moment the device or medium is put on the Belgian market.

For manufacturers, importers and intra EU-purchasers listed as wholesalers, the declaration is due before the 20th of the month following the first sale.
For importers and EU-purchasers listed as retailers, the declaration is due before the 20th of the month following the first purchase
For online shops selling to Belgian web users, the declaration is due before the 20th of the month following the first sale.

This obligation also applies to months for which the remuneration payer has nothing to declare. If the liable party has nothing to declare, it is sufficient to send us a message mentioning the name of the company, company registration number, reference month and the word ‘NIL’.

Exemption and reimbursement

Additional rules for payment

Auvibel draws up an invoice based on the declaration that has been sent in.

Manufacturers and wholesalers must pay the remuneration for private copying within 60 days.
Retailers must pay the remuneration for private copying within 15 days.

Additional rules for invoicing

For manufacturers, importers and intra EU-purchasers listed as wholesalers : the invoices issued by these parties concerning imported media and devices subject to the Auvibel levy must clearly mention the amount due as compensation for private copying.
Parties liable to the Auvibel levy and non-liable distributors of media and devices (wholesaler or retailer): the invoices issued by these parties must indicate the capacity of the different types of media and devices, since the capacity is the parameter used to determine the amount of the private copying levy.
Distributors, wholesaler or retailer: These parties may not accept any invoices from the parties, as defined in the preceding paragraphs, that do not contain the mandatory indications and information.
