New capital gains tax on financial assets: Free webinars 3 & 4 June

Belgium has long been a tax haven for individuals who were making capital gains. A full exemption of capital gains tax was the rule, paying the tax the exception. 

The Act of 6 April 2026 put an end to that with retroactive effect dating from the beginning of the year. The tax is 10% with an allowance of €10,000 per year.

During the webinar, Marc Quaghebeur will examine the changes to the tax landscape and what the new capital gains tax regime means for individuals, investors, and businesses operating in Belgium. He will also look at how they can adapt their investment portfolios to minimise the impact of the new tax. 

Through practical examples, the lawyer will show how the capital gains tax will apply for different investments, how the tax can be mitigated, what alternative investment opportunities are available and what the impact will be for employee incentivising plans and estate planning. 

Particular attention will be given to the cross border effects of the capital gains tax on financial assets. Understanding these developments will be essential for residents, companies, and professionals navigating the Belgian fiscal environment in the coming years.
