Belgium’s main political parties have agreed that a reform of taxation must be carried out after the May elections, to modernize and simplify the country’s tax law.
The Belgian Finance Minister has underlined the need to reduce the number of tax deductions, which currently total around EUR60bn (USD83bn). The Minister has clarified that any tax reform would have to consider the tax burden and respect the fiscal autonomy of the Belgian Regions.
