- I currently work and live in Holland, but I will soon move to Belgium (Antwerp) while continuing to work in Holland. I was told that I can choose whether I pay income tax in Holland or Belgium. Is this true? Hello Amy, I am afraid it is not a matter of choice. 1. Most national income tax systems levy on world wide income on the basis of residency in the country 2. Tax treaties form an exception to this general rule, where a resident may be taxed in the other treaty country on certain types of income, and the "home country"will credit or exempt that part of the income. 3. If all your work days are spent in NL, and you reside in Belgium, Nl has the right to levy on your employment income. Belgium will exempt this income, but if you have other income than employment income, the applicable (progressive) rates will be applied,taking into account your world wide income (so inclusive of NL employment income). 4. Please note that changing countries halfway through the year creates a "split" in taxation; part of the year taxed as resident, and part of the year taxed as non-resident with Nl sourced income. 5. You should also look at premiums social security; most of the first brackets in income taxes consist of social security premiums, for which different rules apply. If you do your work exclusively in NL, you will be covered and liable for premiums in NL. If you work in both B and NL, you will be covered in B. kind regards, Robert Bosma Asked by : Amy Answered by : Tax Expert Robert Bosma
