Taxes and social security

Taxes in Belgium ScholarshipsUnder Belgian law, scholarships are tax-exempt if they are awarded by authorized institutions and if the following conditions are met:The fellowship facilitates extraordinary contributions to scientific research;The fellowship is awarded in circumstances that enable the fellow to take personal initiative in pursuing his or her studies or conducting research;The fellowship is granted free of charge, i.e. any dependence on the donor is excluded;The fellowship is financed directly or indirectly by industrial, commercial or agricultural enterprises, Belgian or foreign, which may benefit in one way or another from the subsidized research activities.Employment contract holdersIncome tax is calculated once a year. Employers withhold a percentage of your monthly income to offset the tax bill at the end of the year. This means that the amount of income tax due is normally paid before the end of the tax year. You will need to complete an annual tax return showing income received during the previous calendar year, and return it usually during the last week of June of the following year. A few months after submitting the tax return, the tax authorities issue a tax statement. This shows the amount to be paid or the refund to be received. If you have to leave Belgium but are still entitled to a tax refund, you should contact the tax office and ask for a form that will enable you to declare your income in advance.In order to avoid double taxation, treaties stipulate which of the countries concerned may subject a certain person's income to its national taxes. In this way, income earned in one of the countries is tax-exempt. As a general rule, you will be subject to income tax in the country where you reside, i.e. Belgium.If your employer in your home country sends you to work in Belgium (as a "seconded" worker), you will only be considered a "Belgian tax resident" if you spend a total of 183 days or more in Belgium during a given tax year. This is known as the "183-day rule". This rule only applies if your employer is not a Belgian resident or is not established in Belgium. Local taxes Taxes not included in the rent.These taxes represent a contribution to public cleanliness (waste collection, water treatment...). All residents legally registered in the city must pay them once a year. The municipal administration can take legal action if you fail to pay (which entails additional costs).Exemption from paymentUnder certain conditions, you may be exempt from paying this tax.As a doctoral student, you are exempt if :you are under 25 years of age. In this case, you must present the attestation of registration as a doctoral student (Appendix 1).you are over 25 and your total gross annual income is less than €16,913.52 (single) or €20,869.68 (with family). You can apply for an exemption by filling in the form available here and providing your latest tax assessment (financial year 2024 - income 2023) or simplified tax return (financial year 2024 - income 2023).You can also use the QR-Code on the invitation to pay tax, which will take you directly to the exemption request form. Finally, you can go to the local administration (take the necessary documents) and explain your situation to the bursar. If your situation meets certain conditions, you may receive free garbage bags.All requests for exemption must be submitted annually. Full regulations on municipal taxes in Namur are available here. Social security As an employee or scholarship holder subject to the Belgian system, you are automatically affiliated to Belgian social security. This means you enjoy all the benefits of Belgian citizens. Find out more Tax return As you are registered and have a national number, you will receive this document by post in April or May each year. The envelope contains two forms, a guide and another envelope for returning the tax return and any appendices.How to complete it?Each year, the University or organization that pays you your scholarship sends you (to your home address) a document showing all your income (form 281.10). This is the most important document for completing your tax return.In cases where you have paid membership fees to organizations recognized as NGOs based in Belgium, you should receive an official tax reduction document. You can declare the amount you paid in the year corresponding to the tax return.Parents can deduct childcare costs (crèches, vacation camps, internships...). The childcare organization will provide you with a certificate. If you've bought a house and are paying a mortgage, you can deduct part of it.InstructionsStep 1: Fill in the application form. Don't overlook the first box, it concerns your bank account and is very useful when you are the recipient of an overpayment. Step 2: Transfer to the tax return all the data on the draft form (see the examples at the top right of the second page of the form). Use only a blue or black ballpoint pen (the use of other colors, pencils or felt-tips is not accepted). Always write inside the boxes (never go beyond the edges of boxes and spaces) in capital letters, and write legibly. The tax return is scanned electronically. Do not fill in boxes or unused fields with entries such as "void", cross-outs, unnecessary marks, unnecessary zeros... If you wish to correct a code or data (amount, date or other), use only a fluid corrector and enter the corrections on another line.Step 3: When the document is correctly completed and signed, put it in the second envelope, stamp it and send it to the tax authorities.Tax-on-webAlternative to paperwork, the online tax declaration method (or Tax on web). This form can also be completed via the tax authorities' website. It has the advantage of being able to be completed in advance (except for membership or childcare fees). Find out moreSimplified tax returnSometimes in the second year of your stay, and if you have regular income (salary or scholarship), you can receive a simplified tax return from the tax authorities. All you have to do is check the pre-encoded data. If it's correct, you don't need to do anything. If you find an error or wish to correct any data, use the enclosed form and send it to the tax authorities.Follow-upIn the following months, you will receive a document called "Avertissement-extrait de rôle". It informs you of the result of the tax calculation. Either you have to pay more tax (and are informed on how to pay the amount you owe), or the tax authorities have to refund you an overpayment (they then reimburse you by a payment into your bank account).Contacthttps://finance.belgium.be/en/contact02 572 57 57 Pre-departure tax return To make sure you're in good standing with the tax authorities before you leave, you'll find useful information on the Service des finances publiques website If you've already left Belgium and/or no longer have a residence permit.To solve the identification problem, the tax authorities have introduced two solutions:1) Telephone appointment: agents telephone taxpayers who have made an appointment to fill in their tax form.2) Tax-on-Web without authentication: via this link.
