Country financial analysis

The statutory corporate income tax rate in Belgium is 25%. Corporate income taxes paid in 2022 were reduced by advance tax payments made in 2021.

In 2022, the Belgium government introduced a “solidarity contribution” as a form of windfall tax in light of the high revenues made by energy companies.
