The Belgian government is preparing to make a flower to fraudsters from July 1, they will be able to repatriate their hidden funds, for example, in a tax haven, by paying the payment of a fine. How is it possible?
Belgium is preparing to confirm once again that it is the kingdom of surrealism, with the entry into force of a new fiscal amnesty for fraudsters: from July 1, it will be possible for them to repatriate their money not declared to taxes, stored abroad, in particular in tax havens, without fear of legal reprisals. However, the latter will have to pay a fine on the amount brought back to Belgium.
The primary goal of this measure decided by the Arizona government is obviously to recover part of the booty. And Belgium could seriously bail out its boxes since it is a question of a fine of 30 to 45 %.
Towards a permanent procedure
It is not the first time that Belgium has made such a gift for fraudsters. In 2004, Brussels had already allowed Belgians who had not declared all of their tax funds, thanks to hidden accounts in tax havens, to repatriate their money to their Belgian account without risk of being worried.
The first fiscal amnesty, baptized DLU, for a single release declaration aimed to bring between 500 million and 1 billion euros to Belgium, assured Didier Reynders (MR), then Minister of Finance. Assessment after a year: 496 million euros in state funds. A small penalty recovered from the 5 billion repatriated and regularized.
A procedure which was wanted at the unique time and which was the first in a long series: that decided by the Wever government will be the fifth and could ultimately become permanent.
“The very first DLU, we did not want to make it permanent. We were more with a view to a tax amnesty, a kind of political realism“, concedes François Henneau, professor of tax law at ULB.” Currently, we are no longer at all in this logic, we are really in a logic allowing all those who wish to regularize their situation can do so under the same conditions. “ Fraud tax fraud silver arizona dlu unique liberating declaration regularization taxes
