Last updated: 24 August 2026

Details

In short

The Cultuurloket Knowledge Base is a starting point with explanations and practical information about working, entrepreneurship and financing in the cultural sector. You’ll find:

  • a list of most-read topics (e.g. non-profit association, volunteer allowance, VAT rates, …)
  • an overview of themes (theme pages) that lead you to articles and step-by-step guides

Most-read topics (selection)

On the start page you’ll find, among others, these frequently read topics:

  • Non-profit association (vzw) – setting up, managing and maintaining
  • Artwork allowance – overview
  • Non-profit association: voluntary dissolution – step-by-step plan
  • VAT rates for artists
  • Volunteer allowance – when can you receive it?
  • What is a de facto association?

Themes (overview)

The knowledge base is organised into theme pages such as:

  • Getting started in culture
  • Agreements and contracts
  • Protecting your creation
  • Taxes and VAT
  • Managing your organisation
  • Paying someone
  • Working internationally
  • Your cultural entrepreneurship plan
  • Managing your finances
  • Your financing mix
  • Your social safety net

When is this useful for our target group?

This knowledge base is especially useful as a referral for (student) entrepreneurs, makers and initiators who:

  • are getting started with a non-profit association (or de facto association)
  • have questions about volunteering and allowances
  • work in the cultural sector with contracts, copyrights and VAT
  • are looking for funding or an overview of possible options

Tips when referring

  • Start with the theme that best matches the question (e.g. Taxes and VAT or Agreements and contracts).
  • Check whether the question concerns an artistic activity (culture-specific) or general entrepreneurship info; then combine it with our own articles.
