Belgian finance minister proposes taxing non-profit sector amid budget talks

A leaked note from Belgium's SPF Finances, reported by Het Laatste Nieuws, proposes subjecting the non-profit sector to corporate tax, citing 1.45 billion euros in profits made by mutualities from health insurance. The proposal, backed by Finance Minister Jan Jambon (N-VA), is positioned as a key argument in ongoing budget negotiations. The measure's fate is uncertain as it faces political debate, but it signals a potential shift in fiscal policy toward the non-profit sector.
