Press Release: Commission refers Belgium to Court because of its tax treatment of Belgian taxpayers investing in property abroad

On 18 June 2015 the European Commission referred Belgium to the Court of Justice of the European Union because of its tax legislation which provides for different methods of assessing income from property. As a result of this, the income which a Belgian resident earns from property located abroad is assessed at a higher value than that from comparable property in Belgium.
