This is about to change. Starting 1 January 2026, a new CGT will apply to a wide range of financial assets held by Belgian residents. If you hold investments such as shares, funds, or insurance-based savings plans, this may affect you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What will be taxed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new CGT will apply to gains you make when selling or withdrawing from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shares (listed and unlisted)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bonds, investment funds, ETFs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Derivatives (e.g. options)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cryptocurrencies and gold<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insurance-based investment products (such as Branch 21 and Branch 23)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">How much is the tax?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A flat 10% tax will be charged on capital gains (i.e. profits made when selling investments).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each person gets a \u20ac10,000 tax-free allowance per year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you don\u2019t use the full allowance, you can carry forward up to \u20ac1,000 per year for a maximum of \u20ac15,000 over five years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only gains made after 1 January 2026 will be taxed. Anything realised before this date will not be affected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">When does the tax apply?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will only be taxed when you sell or withdraw from your investments. Transfers of assets due to death, gifts or marital contributions will not trigger the tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What about life insurance contracts?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you hold a Branch 21 (fixed return) or Branch 23 (unit-linked) life insurance policy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CGT will apply only when you withdraw funds or surrender the policy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The 2% insurance premium tax paid at the start still applies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This may reduce the CGT you pay later, but the exact rules are not yet confirmed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the policy pays out due to death or is gifted, no CGT will apply<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Other key points<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you move abroad, you may still have to pay CGT if you sell investments within two years of leaving Belgium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investments held abroad must be declared in your annual tax return. You will also need to claim the \u20ac10,000 exemption in the return, even for Belgian assets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some existing taxes will still apply (e.g. Reynders tax on interest-bearing funds, speculative tax), which could lead to double taxation in some cases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legal entities like foundations and non-profits will also be subject to this new tax.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People who own at least 20% of a private company may benefit from reduced or progressive tax rates on gains from those shares.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-secondary-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9c97b5da wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:33px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What you should do now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">If you\u2019re a Belgian resident with financial investments, now is the time to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-secondary-background-color has-background\">\n<li>Review your portfolio \u2013 particularly if you hold shares, funds, or life insurance contracts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider tax-efficient structures \u2013 Branch 21 and 23 insurance products may still offer useful tax deferral benefits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plan for future reporting \u2013 Holding foreign investments?
