Employees and directors recruited from abroad can receive a tax-free allowance of up to 35% of gross pay (from 2025, up from 30%) as reimbursement of costs proper to the employer; researchers qualify with no salary threshold.
PromiseUp to a third of a Belgian salary paid tax-free for five years, extendable to eight.
What it takesEmployer must apply within three months of you starting work; you must not have been Belgian tax resident (or lived within 150 km of the border) in the prior five years. Social security (ONSS) still applies the old 30%/€75,000/€90,000 rules.
