It is a tax on a tax. <strong>So municipal tax is a percentage on top of the total amount of your personal income tax.<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have to pay \u20ac1,000 in personal income tax, and your city questions 7%, you will pay 7% on \u20ac1,000, an extra \u20ac70.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Flanders, you can find a summary on the <a href=\"https:\/\/lokaalbestuur.vlaanderen.be\/financiering\/fiscaliteit\/opcentiemen-en-aanvullende-belastingen\/aanslagvoeten-opcentiemen-en-aanvullende-belastingen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website of lokaal bestuur Vlaanderen<\/a> here.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enter additional municipal tax in Dexxter<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Aanvullende gemeentebelasting bedrijven (btw-plichtig)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9GgVjvlyGsw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General municipal tax for companies<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some cities also levy a General Municipal Tax for companies. This is a yearly sum to be paid, often based on the surface area of your establishment.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So be sure to check this for your city so there are no surprises. For example, in Puurs-Sint-Amands this amounts to 65 euros per year or in Maasmechelen to 75 euros per year for companies with a surface area of less than 100m\u00b2.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Provincial tax<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As its name suggests, provincial tax is a tax that the province may impose on businesses located there.
