Belgium approves minimum taxation of 15% for large groups (Pillar 2)
On December 14, 2023, the parliament approved the introduction of the so-called minimum taxation. This is the Belgian implementation of the EU Pillar Two Directive (and aligns to a large extent with the OECD pillar 2 plans). The objective of this minimum taxation is to subject entities that are part of large corporate groups to an effective tax rate of at least 15%. The minimum tax will apply to taxable periods commencing as of December 31, 2023.
