Belgium ranks 65th worldwide on the Lucky Nomads World Index, and the split inside that number is the real story.
It scores 8.9 on city comfort, 8.8 on banking and open society, 8.7 on healthcare and admin ease. Institutions, infrastructure and daily life sit near the top of Europe.
Then tax freedom lands at 3.0. Top personal rate 50%, around 53.5% with the average communal surcharge, and a new 10% tax on realised financial capital gains from January 2026.
The workaround is regime access. The inbound taxpayer regime lets up to 35% of gross salary be paid tax-free as an employer cost allowance. Qualifying IP and software income drops to a 3.75% effective rate. Belgium rewards the profiles who qualify and taxes the ones who do not.
