Personal tax

Foreign executives employed in Belgium can enjoy beneficial tax arrangements under certain conditions, as described in the Circular Letter dated 8 August 1983. As such, important tax-free compensations can be awarded and the remuneration corresponding to the days of employment abroad can be exempt from Belgian income tax.

Our expert team has extensive experience in this domain and can offer you the following services:

• request for special tax status;
• fiscal guidance of foreign executives at the start and during their employment in Belgium;
• optimisation of the remuneration structure;
• calculation of tax-free compensations and taxes payable, simulation exercises;
• draw up of tax declarations for non-inhabitants;
• draw up of tax certificates.

We can also advise Belgian executives who desire a split remuneration structure (salary split) or who are thinking of going on secondment abroad.

We take care of the optimisation of salary packages, both from a tax and from a social-economic perspective (for ex. stock options)
