What to do now
The deadlines to file your claim have passed, including for a late claim: that was possible until a year after the judgment.
Ask the trustee whether anything will still be paid out and whether your claim was admitted.
Follow the file in RegSol: the trustee's reports appear there.
Ask your accountant about the VAT on the unpaid invoices: in a bankruptcy it can be recovered, subject to conditions.
The judgment is more than a year old: the deadline for a late claim (art. XX.165, Code of Economic Law) has passed too.
General information, not legal advice. If in doubt, the trustee, your lawyer or your accountant can help.Creditor guide for this company

raises risk · Open bankruptcy
Active bankruptcy procedure in the Belgian Official Gazette. Claims are handled by the appointed trustee. The KBO register also records: open bankruptcy.
The financial year that closed on 31-03-2021 was due by 31-10-2021 and was filed on 03-11-2021, 3 days later. Nearly half (47%) of Belgian companies file late; of those that file 1 to 90 days late, 2.0% are now bankrupt, dissolved or in another special legal status, against 1.66% of all filers. A delay like this does not count in the score.

This company filed its last 7 accounts on average 5 days before the deadline; the sector median (NACE 28) for financial year 2021 is 11 days before the deadline, and 35% of those companies filed late.
