Belgian municipal company AGB Tongeren-Borgloon sues tax authority over €3M VAT claim

The Autonomous Municipal Company (AGB) of Tongeren-Borgloon is taking the Belgian tax authority to court over a nearly €3 million claim for unpaid VAT, fines, and interest from 2019-2020, inherited from the former AGB of Borgloon. The tax authority alleges agreed payment arrangements were not followed, which the AGB chairman disputes. This is a local fiscal dispute with no broader market or geopolitical implications.
