SME portfolio training

You must enter the training provider as the supplier (this is a training institution recognised by VLAIO). They will send you an invoice. You only pay VLAIO your share of that invoice (excl. VAT). You must pay the vAT yourself to the training institution. If you are subject to VAT, you can simply deduct the vAT (as with other invoices). Once you have paid the VAT to the training institution and VLAIO has paid the amount excl. VAT to the training institution (this only happens after you have paid your own share to VLAIO and you have instructed VLAIO to pay), you can mark the invoice as paid.

The part that VLAIO pays must be entered manually as a receipt from a private person (no vAT due).

For Dexxter, it will then appear as if you have paid the full amount to the training institution and that you have received on the premium from VLAIO.

Update from Dexxter (October 2026)

The 2026 budget for the Flemish SME portfolio (kmo-portefeuille) has been fully used up since 15 October 2026. This means you can no longer submit new applications, and from 1 January 2027 the Flemish government is ending the SME portfolio for good. If you already have an application in progress, you can still complete it until 31 December 2027.
