How to pay less taxes in 2023 ?

Are there really simple solutions to pay less taxes in Belgium in 2023 ? Very surprisingly, the answer, in the majority of taxation situations, is often yes! 

First advice, easy to follow: optimize your tax situation from January 1st: let's begin to classify and to keep all your bills and supporting documents for professional expenses, or to make the decision to accommodate, after reflection, your professional activity in a company: stay attentive, in the daily and digital press, to any informations with a major tax impact ... 

Second tip: avoid the tax status of employee: it is the most taxed class of taxpayers in Belgium: to flee, therefore! Easy to say, do you think? Yes and no. A good tax optimization is a war of attrition, the fight is never won forever. And why not becoming a professional, and bill your benefits to your current employer? Or at least to become self-employed in a complementary way? You are already working with an established company? Have you thought of paying yourself via dividends or even via bonuses? Have your business executive income really been subject to serious tax optimization? 

As many tracks as possible, do not forget any: be assisted by your accountant, or better, by a experienced tax professional! Their fees will often be more than recovered by the tax gains they will provide!
