Locating in Limburg is financially interesting. Owing to a package of business-friendly measures, Belgium is one of the most interesting countries to establish and do business in. Furthermore you can benefit from a range of subsidies in Limburg. Hence the regional and national government co-invest in the growth of your company.
Government support
Both Regional (Flanders) and Federal (Belgium) authorities offer support via direct subsidies and fiscal measures.
Tax reductions belong to the core business of the Federal Authorities. The most important ones are:
- Notional Interest deduction;
- Innovation income deduction;
- Investment deduction;
- Exemption from withholding tax;
- Fiscal Rulings;
- Tax exemption in specific economic areas.
The Regional Authorities (Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship, IWT and PMV) support new and existing companies by means of subsidies and they also provide risk capital.
