Unveiling Belgium’s Tax Burden: The Hidden Truth behind High Tax Rates and Inadequate Services

According to the study, the effective tax rate, ie VAT included, of a Belgian employee is 53.5% compared to 44.1% on average in the European Union. In our country, an employer spends 215 euros so that an average employee receives 100 euros net following contributions and taxes.

The authors of the study also draw up a bad report to the Belgian administrations: “They fail to provide services commensurate with the amounts they collect from employees“. Among the 28 countries studied, Belgium is ranked 11th in the general OECD PISA ranking on educational results, 14th out of 28 in terms of happiness according to the United Nations World Happiness Report of 2022, and 19th on 28 for quality of life according to US News’ 2021 Best Countries Survey.
