This document outlines Belgium Accounting's compliance with the SPF Finances (Belgian Federal Public Service for Finance) User Convention for API access to MyMinFin and Intervat services. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of security, transparency, and regulatory compliance in our integration with Belgian government financial services.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It's a secure way for different software applications to communicate with each other automatically, without requiring manual data entry.
Example: Instead of manually downloading your tax documents from MyMinfin and uploading them to Belgium Accounting, our API connection automatically retrieves them securely in the background, saving you time and reducing errors.
Security: API connections use encrypted channels and require your explicit authorization through OAuth (like "Sign in with Google"). You can revoke access at any time.
A formal User Convention exists between Belgium Accounting (Fontaine Farm BV, BCE 1004.190.223) and SPF Finances Belgium. This convention governs API access, security requirements, data handling, and compliance obligations. Users may request a copy of this convention by contacting support@contabilite.space.
