What It Is

Argeüs Succession Software is vertical enterprise software for Belgian inheritance tax, estate tax calculation, and succession planning. Its website states that it keeps up with regulatory updates for Vlaanderen, Wallonië, and Brussel, and can be used to calculate successierechten/erfbelasting, support successieplanning, and generate estate declarations and reports that comply with government requirements.

Core Features and Product Modules

The product is divided into QuickScan, Plan Pro, and Aangifte Generator. QuickScan focuses on fast and accurate inheritance tax calculations during client meetings, with automatic generation of standard reports. Plan Pro is designed for more complex cases, supporting detailed data entry, multiple complex simulations, succession planning, customized client reports, and report layout customization. Aangifte Generator is used to generate estate declaration files, including the VLABEL model, while also calculating the tax due. Report languages are explicitly listed as NL, FR, and EN, which is well suited to Belgium’s multilingual environment.

Pricing and Trial

QuickScan costs €690/year/user, while Plan Pro costs €1799/year/user. Aangifte Generator is billed per dossier; the page lists Plan Pro License pricing at €50/case and €100/case. QuickScan and Plan Pro both come with a 14-day free trial, and the declaration generator offers 1 free temporary dossier. The notarial sector has special terms through cooperation with KFBN and FEDNOT, but the details are not publicly disclosed.

Security, Deployment, and Integrations

The software is accessed online and offers secure cloud storage. The page also emphasizes that regulations are kept up to date, but it does not disclose details on encryption, backups, ISO/GDPR compliance, or other security and compliance measures. Third-party integrations, APIs, developer support, team permissions, and collaboration features do not appear in the captured text, so they should not be assumed.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

Its main strength is its highly specialized focus: it covers the workflow from quick estimates to complex succession planning and declaration generation. It is suitable for Belgian accountants, tax advisers, lawyers, notaries, and wealth planning consultants. The downside is that it is highly dependent on Belgian jurisdiction and regulations, so it has limited value outside Belgian-related work. Public information is also lacking on integrations, permissions, and security certifications.

Access from China and Alternatives

Access from mainland China is unknown, and payment methods are not disclosed. Even if accessible, the software mainly serves Belgian inheritance tax practice, so it is only relevant to Chinese users involved in cross-border estate planning or Belgian local business. In China, law firm/tax advisory systems, Excel models, or local finance and tax software could be considered as business management alternatives, but they are not equivalent dedicated products.
