Capital Gains on Shares — The Reynders Tax

If you hold less than 20% of a Belgian company, your gains are taxed under the Reynders framework.

The 10% Rule

Equity gains are taxed at 10% under the Reynders framework (bonds at 30%).

No Safe-Harbour

Unlike substantial participants (≥20%), no formula-based exemption applies.
