Historical overview
The founding
In 1972, Interfisc was founded by Robert Mahieu and Guy François, who at the time were members of the board of the Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce (Beluned), seated in The Hague. Up to that point in time, the products of Belgian and Luxembourg companies in the Netherlands were usually sold through mercantile agents and wholesalers. However many of them, and
soon enough followed by companies from the rest of Europe, switched to hiring their own sales representatives. However, for employees not living in the Netherlands, the resulting administration, caused a big problem with regard to fiscal, legal and social insurance related matters. Contrary to Belgium, the Netherlands did not have social secretariats (a typically Belgian term for offices with a legal statute, that take care of all aspects related to payroll administration for employers in Belgium), hence the foundation of a Belgian social secretary office “Interfisc Loonadministratie” (“Interfisc Payroll”) in The Netherlands in 1972. The development
Very soon it became clear that merely providing a wage slip was not sufficient: far more issues were involved. After all, the representatives also needed a pension, as well as arrangements for disability, a lease car, fuel card, and so on. Things that are not self-explanatory for a business without an office in the Netherlands (which by the way, would still be the case, if it weren’t for Interfisc having a solution ready for many issues!). Over the course of the years, the service range was expanded considerably in this sense to make it as easy as possible for foreign employers. As from 1996, Interfisc continued completely independently, to grow into a company with about 50 employees internationally in a relatively short amount of time. Anniversary
In 2007, the Interfisc Group celebrated its 35th anniversary, with an anniversary publication to honour this event. In case you want to learn more about the history and background of our organisation, please contact us! Interfisc now
Nowadays, we have a head office in the Netherlands and branch-establishments in Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. In terms of our vision, we are constantly looking for opportunities to achieve further expansion. In the different offices, we process the payrolls of employees working in the Netherlands as well as the neighbouring countries listed. In addition, Interfisc has grown into an expert when it comes to cross-border payroll administration, whereby the withholdings in the different countries are not only calculated and paid out, but also truly integrated into the wage slip!
