❌

As an expat, your situation is more complex (foreign income, foreign bank accounts, ...) but there’s no clear, structured English‑language guidance

What's Included In Understanding Belgian Income Taxes in 5 Days
Meet Your Instructor
My name is Michiel Taelman. For the past 27 years I've worked in personal income taxes, payroll, compensation and benefits — always with a focus on helping expats navigate the Belgian system.
In those years, I've guided many foreign professionals through immigration, income taxes, social security, and relocation. I know first-hand how stressful it can be to find your way in a new country — and how much of a difference clear, structured guidance makes.
After nearly three decades of working with expats, I know exactly where people get stuck and how to explain the system in a way that finally makes sense.
That's why I created this course.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have access to the course?
You pay once and get lifetime access. You can revisit the lessons every year, and when Belgian tax rules or forms change, updated content is added to your course at no extra cost.
Is the course up to date with the latest rules?
Yes. The course is reviewed and updated to reflect important changes in Belgian income tax. Updates are included in your one‑time fee.
Do I need to speak Dutch or French?
No. Everything is explained in clear English. You’ll learn how to interpret the Dutch/French terms you see on forms and in the online portal, so language is no longer a barrier.
I’ve never filed a Belgian tax return before. Is this too advanced?
This course was created precisely for people who are new to Belgian taxes. We start from the basics, build your understanding step by step, and then walk through the actual forms together. No prior experience needed.
How much time do I need?
Plan for about 2 hours per day over 5 days. You can go faster or slower – you have lifetime access – but the 5‑day structure is designed to get you from confused to confident quickly.
What if my situation is more complex than the examples?
The course focuses on the most common expat scenarios but is built around principles you can apply to your own situation. You’ll also have access to a private community where you can ask questions and see how others apply the material.
I’m not an expat. Is this course still for me?
Yes. The course is designed with expats in mind, but it covers the core Belgian income tax rules that apply to all residents, with some modules focusing on expat‑specific topics like foreign income and foreign bank accounts.
