Simplification of Walloon taxes on waste management and transport
Official title: Projet de décret modifiant le décret fiscal du 22 mars 2007 favorisant la prévention et la valorisation des déchets en Région wallonne et portant modification du décret du 6 mai 1999 relatif à l'établissement, au recouvrement et au contentieux en matière de taxes régionales directes
Status: Parliament has approved this proposal. (parliament: ‘Adopted in plenary session’)
In plain language
- The Walloon waste tax regime is simplified by exempting carriers and switching from bi-annual to annual tax returns.
- This primarily affects waste management companies, collectors, brokers, and transport businesses operating out of Wallonia.
- As an everyday citizen, you will not notice any difference, as these rules apply purely to commercial waste operators.
