Paying taxes

The tax must be paid within two months starting from the seventh day following the dispatch date of the tax bill.

If you fail to pay by the deadline, you receive a first reminder.

The amount payable on this reminder includes the amount of the unpaid or late tax, plus 20% surcharge and any interest due.

You have 30 days starting from the seventh day after the first reminder was sent to pay the tax, including the surcharge and interest due.

If you fail to pay by the deadline of the first reminder, you will receive a second reminder, sent by registered mail.

The amount payable on this second reminder includes the amount of the unpaid or late tax, plus 50% surcharge and any interest due.

You have 30 days from the date the second reminder was sent to pay the tax, including any surcharges and interest due.

If no action is taken in response to this final reminder, enforcement proceedings will be initiated by a bailiff, at the expense of the debtor.

The tax must be paid within 62 days starting from the seventh day following:

• The dispatch date of the tax bill indicated on the bill itself.
• The date on which the tax bill was made available on the Opens in new windowMyTax platform.

If you fail to pay by the deadline, Brussels Fiscality will charge late payment interest and send a reminder.

One month after the dispatch date of the reminder an enforcement order may be issued, on the basis of which enforced collection may be initiated.

You can pay your bill online at Opens in new windowMyTax or make your payment by bank transfer. Please note that it is not possible to pay your bill at our counters.

To pay correctly, please:

• Enter the correct amount, IBAN, and BIC.
• Use the structured reference mentioned on your document.
• If you accidentally made a payment to someone else’s account, please contact that person directly.

You can submit a request for an overview of your debts, including:

• A detailed breakdown of your unpaid debt (principal amount, interest, surcharges).
• A copy of the original tax bill.
• Legal proceedings (if your case is being handled by a bailiff).

• When you want an overview of your unpaid debt.
• When you have initiated a collective debt settlement procedure for one of your clients. 

You can send your request in writing by mail or via our contact form, or contact us by phone. A case manager will review your request and provide you with a detailed statement, including any supporting documents if applicable.
