Tax-free donating and giving to charities in Flanders
As of 1 July 2021, the Flemish Region will reduce the tax rates for gifts and legacies to charities to 0%. This has been decided by the Flemish Government in a preliminary draft decree on 18 September 2020. In addition, a benefit will be introduced for legacies to friends and distant relatives: the current inheritance tax rate of 25% will be reduced to 3% for the first amount of EUR 15.000.
