Frequently asked questions about corporate tax

Should I choose a sole proprietorship or a company for my business activities?2025-09-10T10:26:59+02:00

The choice between a sole proprietorship or a company is one of the most important decisions when starting your business.

  • A sole proprietorship is often easier to set up and less expensive.
  • A company offers more flexibility and opportunities for tax optimization. In addition, a company allows your private assets to be protected from risks related to your business.

The choice between a sole proprietorship or a company depends, among other things, on the expected income, risk level, and growth plans. Therefore, always seek advice from an expert.

What is the corporate income tax rate in Belgium?2025-09-10T10:29:06+02:00

The standard corporate income tax rate is 25%.

Under certain conditions, a reduced rate of 20% applies to the first EUR 100,000 of the taxable base. These conditions are:

  1. The company qualifies as an SME.
  2. A minimum salary is paid to one of the company directors (except for start-ups).
  3. The company is not a financial company.
  4. More than 50% of the shares of the company are held by a natural person.
Which costs are deductible for my company?2025-09-24T17:07:57+02:00

In corporate income tax, costs are deductible if they are incurred to generate or maintain income. Professional expenses need to be deducted in the fiscal year to which they relate.

Please note: certain costs are not deductible or only partially deductible. These are known as disallowed expenses. See the overview of disallowed expenses for the 2026 financial year to find out which costs are subject to deduction restrictions.
