Hello,
I have a question about the advance payment of personal income tax.
Am I mistaken, or does this relate to the tax year from previous year? Here, I was not yet self-employed in secondary occupation, but my husband was. He stopped in 2022, around the same time I started.
Do I still have to pay this?
Thanks in advance for the information.
Kind regards, Lora
Hello Lora,
If you were to make an advance payment of personal income tax now (or in other words, during this year), that advance payment would count towards the figures for 2022, from which you will submit your tax return in 2023.
The tax authorities actually want you to pay a portion of the tax bill that you would otherwise only submit on the following year as an advance payment during the year in which you are earning money (the income year). That way, they get their money faster :)
Whether it is best to pay this now depends on a number of things. If you have a lot of profit, you may find it important (psychologically) to have already paid part of the taxes from it, and there may also be a tax advantage to paying part of it already... However, at Dexxter, we are not allowed to give advice on specific cases (such as whether you should pay an advance in your specifically specific case or not). Such specifically tax advice is reserved to accountants/bookkeepers.
Good luck!
Could it be that the % tax reductions stated in Dexxter are no longer up to date? I read other percentages here: https://financien.belgium.be/nl/particulieren/betalen-terugkrijgen/advance payments#q6
You really should try it out for yourself. Even if you don’t have a company number yet, you can already go ahead.
