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 paymentFrom 2026 onwards, there will no longer be a full exemption from this tax in Namur. However, you may be eligible for a partial exemption under certain conditions.As a doctoral student, you can be partly 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 €17.250,48 (single) or €21.287,16 (with family). You can apply for an exemption by filling in the form available here and providing your latest tax assessment (financial year 2025 - income 2024) or simplified tax return (financial year 2025 - income 2024).You can also use the QR-Code on the invitation to pay tax, which will take you directly to the partial 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 partial exemption must be submitted annually. Full regulations on municipal taxes in Namur are available here.

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. You can submit your tax form online without going through MyMinfin.For appointments, you can visit the site or call +32 257 556 67.For refunds, the amount can be paid into a foreign account. Please provide the following information:IBANBICHolder account numberName of bankFor some countries (such as the USA), your bank's routing code.Send this data via the contact form. For "What is the subject of the question?", choose "All questions relating to taxes, payments and refunds". For "It's about?", select "Payment or refund" from the drop-down menu.Keep in mind that the update may take several weeks.

Information notice relating to the management of the University of Namur biobank
Context
As part of its scientific research missions, the University of Namur operates the NAB-X Biobank, which has been notified to the Federal Agency for Medicines and Health Products (FAMHP). A biobank is defined as a structure that obtains, processes, stores and makes available human body material (HBM), such as blood samples, together with data relating to the material and to the donor.These data are obtained either directly by the University of Namur from donors, where appropriate for the purposes of a study, or are provided by hospital institutions under an agreement concluded with UNamur.The management and operationalisation of this biobank are based on the processing of traceable human material, which requires the ability to locate and identify the material at every stage, from its collection to its provision to researchers or its destruction. This traceability requirement, as well as the need to ensure the quality and biological safety of the material, intrinsically involves the processing of personal data.The legal framework applicable to biobanks also requires the biobank operator to communicate data relating to the use of HBM to an approved ethics committee, which is responsible for issuing ethical opinions on the use of HBM, as well as to the FAMHP.
Categories of personal data processed and purposes of use
For the purposes of this activity, the University of Namur processes personal data falling into the following categories:General identification data [category grouping the following types of data: surname, first name, postal address, e-mail addresses, copy of identity card, identity photograph, telephone number …]Identifiers allocated by UNamur [category grouping the following types of data: donor identification number …]Personal characteristic data [category grouping the following types of data: age, gender …]Data relating to the context of collection [category grouping the following types of data: source and context of the collection, identity and contact details of the physician responsible for the collection …]Data relating to the context of the use of human body material [category grouping the following types of data: study supervisors, purpose of the study …]Traceability data [category grouping the following types of data: codes associated with the sample, dates of entry, exit and destruction, identity of recipients …]Data relating to proof of consent [category grouping the following types of data: date and purpose of consent, signatures …]These data are used, under the responsibility of the physician managing the human body material (HBM), to:manage obligations relating to the traceability of human body material and the feedback provided by the HBM manager within the biobank to the data subject where research carried out by a third party generates clinically significant information for the data subject’s health;manage the collection and retention of the consent of persons whose human body material is collected, stored or used;manage the assessment of participants’ eligibility for a collection of HBM;manage the operation and operationalisation of the biobank, including the collection, processing, storage and destruction of HBM;manage the framework governing the provision of human body material and associated data to researchers;comply with reporting obligations and prior consultation of the ethics committee responsible for supervising the activities of the biobank;comply with the obligations imposed on biobank operators vis-à-vis the FAMHP.
Basis for lawfulness of data processing
The use of human biological material and clinical data is carried out, as appropriate, to fulfill a public interest mission related to research (Article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR) or on the basis of consent specifically obtained from the individual for the processing of their data (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing already carried out. The processing of data related to proof of consent is carried out in compliance with legal obligations arising from the GDPR and the Law of December 30, 2008, on the collection and use of human biological material intended for human medical applications or for scientific research purposes, as well as the Royal Decree of January 9, 2018, on biobanks (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR). The processing of data relating to the submission and follow-up of requests for opinions from the Ethics Committee regarding the storage or use of human biological material within the biobank is carried out to perform a task in the public interest related to research (Article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR).Data processing related to the traceability of human biological material, the management of donor consents, as well as reports submitted to the ethics committee overseeing the biobank and notifications to theAFPMS are carried out in compliance with legal obligations arising from the Law of December 30, 2008, on the collection and use of human biological material intended for human medical applications or for scientific research purposes, and the Royal Decree of January 9, 2018, on biobanks (Article 6(1)(c)).
Processing of special categories of data
For the purposes described above, the University of Namur also processes personal data belonging to the following special categories:health data relating to the assessment of participants’ eligibility for a collection;clinical data associated with the collection of HBM and the analysis of samples;genetic data associated with the analysis of samples.The processing of these special categories of data is justified, depending on the context of the collection, where:it is carried out with the explicit consent of the data subject (Article 9(2)(a) GDPR); orit is necessary for scientific research purposes (Article 9(2)(j) GDPR).Where special categories of data are processed in order to comply with the legal obligations of the biobank operator, such processing is carried out for reasons of public interest in the area of public health (Article 9(2)(i) GDPR).
Categories of data subjects
The categories of persons whose data are processed for the purposes of this activity are as follows:persons who have been subject to a collection of human body material intended to be collected by, used through or stored in the biobank (and, where applicable, their legal representatives).
Sources of the data
The data processed originate from one or more of the following sources:the data subject themselves;data provided by a third party or originating from third-party databases (including CHU UCL Namur – Godinne, Clinique Saint‑Pierre Ottignies, Clinique Saint‑Luc Bouge), in particular as regards residual human body material originating from a sample initially collected for the donor’s diagnosis or treatment and which proves redundant once those purposes have been fulfilled.
Recipients of the data
The data are processed exclusively by authorised persons and departments of the University for the purposes of carrying out the activity.Internal recipients mainly belong to the following categories:the manager of the biobank’s human body material;authorised staff within the Faculty of Medicine and its Pharmacy Department (coded data only);researchers authorised to receive the data for research purposes (pseudonymised data only).External recipients belong to the following categories:the physician responsible for the collection of HBM and the staff in charge of data entry under their supervision;external researchers and partners authorised to receive the data for research purposes (pseudonymised data only);the FAMHP, to the extent required by legislation for the performance of its legal missions.
Characteristics of the processing
The retention period is determined according to the following criteria:for data collected or used in the context of scientific studies: the need to retain the data for the purposes of carrying out a scientific study and for the internal monitoring of the provision of HBM and associated data;for human body material and associated clinical data stored in the biobank outside a clinical study: a minimum retention period of five years from storage in the biobank and a maximum of fifty years, the duration varying depending on the availability of residual samples;for data relating to compliance with legal obligations: for as long as the biobank exists and is required to demonstrate compliance with those obligations.
Rights of data subjects
Data subjects whose personal data are processed have the rights described on the pagehttps://www.unamur.be/en/privacy-policy.Any request or question relating to files processed in the context of this activity may be addressed to: nabx@unamur.be or dpo@unamur.be.
