Personal Details

Bio

2 quick questions :

1) I am afraid we were born intelligent and things only went worse with aging... Is Knowledge not the Source of Life ?

2) Why should we first present ourselves listing our degrees, work experiences and past professional accomplishments ?

I am someone who :

1. Does not take himself and life too seriously

2. Lightens the world up a little

3. Is a learned optimist and a curious person

4. Companion of 1, Father of 5, Colleague of 10, Friend of 20 and a Helping hand for hundreds

5. A YES sayer to work, life, friendship, love and laughter.

Secondly, I am a Belgian and UAE resident, friend of the Middle-East Companies and Private individuals and specialized in International Data Privacy & Privacy, Tax Structuring & Planning, Taxation for Enterprises and Individuals, Cross-border Tax aspects, Company law, International mobility, Estate transactions & Contract law.

As a Legal counsel, I advise on International Tax & Data Privacy/Protection Issues (http://ow.ly/FQ5n30e6xer).

Another professional passion is the law of Not-for-profit organizations (ASBL, AISBL & Foundations) & Volunteers.

Thirdly, I sit on the Board of various legal entities with this motto : "Let us all contribute to a better world with more of the Value we create in our own hands & promoting Equality & Diversity."

I have been appointed EU expert in the HORIZON2020 EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation - Fast Track To Innovation (http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/) & IAPP’s Certified Information Privacy Professional Europe (CIPP/ E) & Udemy certified EU GDPR - Data Protection Employee Awareness Training.

Fourthly, I hold 6 university level degrees :

3) Social Communications (IHECS)

4) Tax Law (FISCALE HOGESCHOOL)

The 4 w's method

Mr. I LOVE paying my taxes

M. Christophe Boeraeve Esq. is professor, international tax lawyer and specialised in not-for-profit associations/foundations and a business coach.

Passionate about communication and pedagogy, he developed an original method bringing those surprising words in the mouth of each taxpayer : "I love paying my taxes".

He asks 4 questions - a countdown to a new "take off":

4. Who bears the tax deductible costs (and what are they)?

3. Which of the 4 individual taxable incomes should I collect (Real Estate / Movable / Professional / Miscellanous)?

2. What income tax should I pay (Individual / Corporate / Non-Profit / Non-Resident)?

1. Where in the world should I pay taxes?

Christophe is not a "lawyer-like-the-others" ...

Explained by its author, the “4 W’s Method" is more akin to a "One man show" than to a legal consultation, rigor a

Reviews

Testimonials (5)
  • In just a few short meetings, Christophe’s legal counseling has led to savings on taxes – which means more of our limited budget can be allocated for our activities. I was instantly at ease with Christophe’s humorous and creative approach. His honest and straightforward manor made dealing with legal jargon less formidable. I would highly recommend Christophe to any non-profit looking to cut costs.
