Non-residents Tax Return

Non-residents tax - Belgians

The following information can be found at : https://financien.belgium.be/nl/particulieren/belastingaangifte/niet-inwoners/aangifte#q1

You live abroad (not in Belgium) and you have/receive income from Belgium (e.g. a salary, a pension, rental income) => you have to file a "non-resident tax return".

Declaration 2021:

From the end of September 2021, we will send out the paper returns.
As from 15 September 2021, you will be able to submit the declaration via MyMinfin (Tax-on-web).

Why have I received a non-resident tax return?

We have established that you (and possibly your partner) had Belgian income during the previous calendar year: for example, a salary, a pension, rent, etc.

Please refer to the notes (p.1 and 2) for more information on this revenue.

You must therefore file a non-resident tax return in Belgium. In it, you must state all your Belgian income in 2019.

Will I have to pay tax?

This depends on your income, your situation and the country you live in.

In certain cases, Belgian income is exempt from tax in Belgium. This means that even if you submit a return that mentions income, you do not have to pay tax.

After you have filed your tax return, you will receive an 'assessment notice'. This will state whether or not you have to pay a tax (or whether you will be refunded an amount).
