Belgian inheritance tax stays separate

Inheritance tax in Belgium is regional. Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia do not have the same rules, and none of those rules is the Dutch table for 2026. Someone who lived in one of those regions is not taxed with the Dutch exemptions and rates. The amounts for a partner, a child and another heir from the Dutch table do not belong in that file. Do not paste Ervazo's indication into a Belgian file. The screen calculates with the Dutch table. A file that takes those figures over gets a Dutch sum on a case that is not settled with that sum.

This piece names no Belgian rate and no Belgian exemption, not even by approximation. An example from one region is no aid for the other. Anyone who has to deal with Belgian inheritance tax uses the text of the region that applies, not a Dutch explanation and not a Dutch indication. In the file you note the country and, if it is Belgium, the region, as soon as that is known. Until the region is known, the tax line stays empty. An empty field is better than a Dutch group that happens to seem to fit the family.

A Dutch indication in a Belgian file sends the reader the wrong way. Heirs see an amount and think that is how the tax works out. Later the region comes with a bill of its own. So, on a file that belongs in Belgium, put a sentence that the Dutch table is not used. Take off a sum pasted earlier, even if someone has worked it through with the Dutch exemption of € 26.230 or € 828.035. Those amounts are the amounts of the Belastingdienst for 2026. They are not a Belgian rate because of that. Applicable and familiar are different things.

If someone lives in the Netherlands and there is property in Belgium, or the other way round, this piece does not resolve that border case. The Dutch indication does not cover it by showing the table anyway. Note the facts: where the person lived, and that there is a component in another country. Leave the sum open until someone who knows the rules makes it. Ervazo remains an indication with the Dutch tables for 2026, not a return in any country. The program does not know which region is competent. A staff member who has a source writes that source alongside and leaves the Dutch groups out of the Belgian part.

Anyone who lived in Flanders, Brussels or Wallonia does not fall under the Dutch exemptions and rates for 2026. Belgian inheritance tax is regional. This piece quotes not a single percentage of it and not a single amount. Ervazo's indication does not belong pasted into that file. This is not legal advice and not tax advice. Which region applies and which rate belongs there, you read in the text of that region or with an adviser who has the file and that text. The Dutch table does not fill that question in.
