The Belgian Government recently reached agreement on the federal budget. Key topics that shaped the agreement include addressing the ongoing energy crisis, limiting the budgetary deficit, and stimulating employment. The budget contains several important tax, energy, and business competition measures.
The agreed-upon measures now must be enacted into law and go through the required parliamentary procedure before they can be published into the Official Gazette (Belgisch Staatsblad/Moniteur belge) and enter into force on 1 January 2023.
