If you are going to be domiciled outside of Belgium, please inform FPS Finance

Before you leave and thus still be domiciled in Belgium, contact your local tax office for your deregistration. If you do not know who that is, you can find this information on:

In the year of your departure, you will have to declaration special that allows you to declare your income for the year of your departure. The period is from 01/01/.... until the day of your departure (deregistration in your municipality). You will then have 3 months at the latest to submit this declaration (*sometimes impractical in reality).

If, after your departure, you continue to receive income from Belgium (e.g. pension, benefit, salary, rental income, etc.), you must declare this income in Belgium and you will be taxed on it (or not). This declaration is called the BNI = Belgian non-resident with income from Belgium or the Non-Resident Tax Declaration.

You have income in Belgium (e.g. a salary, a pension, rental income), and

  • you are residing abroad, or
  • you are in Belgium for a limited period of time (e.g. for work or studies).

You must then submit a 'non-resident tax return'.
