Why this book?
In the past few years there has been considerable change in Belgian tax legislation. This has necessitated a revised second edition of Belgium in International Tax Planning, which addresses the most recent developments.
These changes include: the abolition of bearer shares and other financial instruments; the introduction of notional interest deduction; the 2004 Belgium–Hong Kong tax treaty; and the introduction of Art. 285 on transfer pricing in the Belgian Income Tax Code.
