The PCMN is the official nomenclature of Belgian accounting, established by the law of 17 July 1975. It applies to all companies subject to double-entry bookkeeping: SRL, SA, ASBL, foundations and other entities.
The MNC for companies contains 782 accounts across classes 0 to 7. The NPO version, based on the CAC 2019, adapts certain classes: class 1 becomes the social fund, class 7 includes contributions and subsidies (accounts 730-733).
The MNC is mandatory for all companies subject to double-entry bookkeeping: SRL, SA, large NPOs. Self-employed individuals with turnover below €500,000 excl. VAT may use simplified accounting with an abbreviated chart of accounts.
The Belgian MNC for companies contains 782 accounts across 8 classes (0 to 7). The NPO version contains 373 accounts. Our tool allows instant search of any account by code or keyword.
Each MNC account has a 6-digit code. The first digit indicates the class (6 = expenses), the first two the group (61 = services and miscellaneous goods), the full 6 digits the specific account (612700 = electricity consumption).
