Session on the New Tax on Securities Accounts

10 May 2022: 15:30 – 18:30 CET

Location: Linklaters Brussels, Rue Brederodestraat 13, Brussels

In partnership with:

ATEB and Linklaters invite you to a session on the new tax on securities accounts.

Does your (Belgian-based) company hold a securities account in any jurisdiction or does any of your foreign subsidiaries hold securities accounts with Belgian financial intermediaries? Do you have hedging arrangements in place or hold treasury shares or shares in (foreign) entities through a securities account? This means that you could fall within the scope of the Belgian tax on securities accounts and this session is very much relevant for you!

During the session we will provide you with valuable insights on a number of practical questions such as the notion of securities account, the impact of the tax in case of investments of excess cash, owning redeemed shares, derivatives concluded for hedging purposes, the use of foreign affiliates to invest in registered securities, the ongoing annulment proceedings against the tax, etc.

The session will be followed by a Q&A.
