International assignee working in Belgium
Memorandum on the Belgian tax system
Summary
International assignees taking up employment in Belgium are in general uninformed about the Belgian tax and social security system to which, in most cases, they will become subject.
The International Assignment Taxation Folio below is designed to assist both the foreign national and his/her employer to identify the tax and social security implications of transfers to Belgium.
Information on the non-resident special status can also be found in our digest on it.
It is not intended to be complete. More detailed advice should be sought before any specific decisions are made. Further information can be obtained from our offices.
Our Folio provides a general background with respect to the income, social security and other tax implications of cross-border transfers, it is a “must read” for any individual contemplating or embarking on an international assignment.
International assignees need information to make crucial decisions regarding their assignments. Our folios help assignees avoid tax problems both before they arrive in their assigned country and after they return home.
This folio is taken from the PwC serie ‘International assignee working in’ available for many other countries.
