Hello Everyone,
Thanks to all the active members, you helped me and gave me a clean overall picture of how living in Belgium – Brussels is.
I'm still stuck with one question regarding the Special Tax Status, I'm planning to move to Brussels, and I've been offered a permanent contract with this Special Tax Status.
SO is there anyone who can help me an answer my question, I'll be grateful to everyone 😊
1. What are the disadvantages of this Special Tax Status?
2. I'm not married but planning to marry in the near future, so can My Future Wife join me once married?
3. As I understood, with the Expat status I'll be given the non-resident status, so can I move easily in the Schengen Area, as I like traveling so I'll be visiting the neighboring countries?
4. I read on Expat.com forums that with this status you will be considered as having a temporary job so the employer can fire you whenever he wants? Is that Right? If so what does a permanent contract mean?
5. Will I have a pension plan?
6. Is there any other benefit apart from the additional 200-300 euros in the net salary?
7. Finally, for someone who is planning to live there for a long time, say more than 5 years, does this effect anything regarding your long stay in Brussels? Like the permanent residency, etc.
Thanks to every one.
Regards,
