IPT and parafiscal charges in Belgium
In t r o d u c t io n
I nsurance p roviders f ace a w ide variety of tax issues w h en entering th e B el g ian insurance
market. Due to the tax landscape, the provider has to tackle various qualification
issues in order to ensure com p l iance w ith th e B el g ian insurance p rem ium tax ( I P T) and
parafiscal charges.
Al l too of ten, th e B el g ian I P T reg ul ations are sh ort, vag ue and b ased on not readil y
accessib l e adm inistrative g uidel ines. Th is is esp ecial l y th e case w ith resp ect to th e
parafiscal charges where the scope and the rates are oftentimes unclear and occasionally
baffle the uninitiated.
Th is articl e discusses som e of th e p itf al l s each p rovider active in th e B el g ian insurance
market should watch out for: Is IPT due? Which parafiscal charges are applicable?
H ow sh oul d you g aug e th e audit risk ?
W h a t is in s u r a n c e ?
I n p rincip l e, B el g ian I P T is due on insurance transactions and onl y on insurance
transactions. Conveniently, the Belgian IPT regulations do not define what insurance is
b ut ref er to E urop ean case l aw , B el g ian l aw and g eneral p ractice.
IPT will be due only if an agreement can be qualified as an insurance agreement and
the services provided will be exempt from VAT. This qualification not only impacts the
tax tech nical treatm ent of th e sup p l y, b ut can induce a rang e of ef f ects such as th e V AT
p osition of th e com p any ( as an exem p t sup p l y does not g ive rig h t to deduct th e inp ut
VAT). The importance of this qualification exercise can be illustrated by the recent Mapfre
W arranty case ( 1 6 J ul y 2 0 1 5 , C - 5 8 4 / 1 3 ) . Th e C J E U h el d th at th e sal e of w arranties b y a
th ird p arty ( not th e sel l er of g oods or services) constituted exem p t sup p l ies of insurance.
F rom a B el g ian p oint of view , th e k ey to such an anal ysis is th e p osition tak en b y th e
B el g ian reg ul ator ( F inancial S ervices and M ark ets Auth ority or F S M A) . Th e B el g ian
reg ul ator th oug h t it p rudent to rel ease a p osition p ap er stating th at in th eir view any
w arranty not ancil l ary to a p rincip al sup p l y needs to b e considered as insurance, th ereb y
increasing th e scop e of th e B el g ian I P T as w el l .
IPT in Belgium?
Th e def aul t p osition tak en b y B el g ium in m atters of insurance p rem ium taxes is th at I P T is
always due when the following conditions are met, unless a specific exemption has been
enacted:
1 .
Th ere is an insurance contract.
2 . Th e risk is l ocated in B el g ium .
3 . Th e contract is in ef f ect in th e year w h en taxes are due.
Al so, b y def aul t, th e standard rate of 9 . 2 5 % w il l b e ap p l icab l e. G eneral as w el l as very
specific exceptions to this rule exist. Life insurance premiums can benefit from several
reduced rates, and reinsurance is exem p t.

IPT to be increased with parafiscal charges
The challenges found in the Belgian IPT system can mostly be traced to the parafiscal
ch arg es in p l ace.
It is to be noted that from a purely Belgian viewpoint, these parafiscal charges are in no
w ay rel ated to th e g eneral I P T tax discussed ab ove oth er th an th ey are al so l evied on
p rem ium s. Th ey are m anag ed b y a dif f erent service and, m ore im p ortantl y, th ey h ave
l og ic w h ich does not necessaril y conf orm to insurance standards. Th is com p l icates a
proper classification and assessment of all the products an insurer sells.
W h il e th e g eneral I P T uses th e rational e th at al l p rem ium s are taxab l e at th e standard
rate unless specific exemptions or lower rates can be deemed applicable, the parafiscal
charges are typically only due when a specific risk is insured.
Note that in the view of the administration responsible for the parafiscal charges, this
means ALL premiums which cover the specific risk are in scope even if it is not obvious
that the policy covers such a specific in-scope risk. For instance, the INAMI levy will not
only be applicable on specific fire insurance contract, but is also applicable on insurance
contracts f or terrorism , p rop erty al l risk s, val uab l e g oods insurance, etc. Adm ittedl y,
the administration cannot and will not tax the entire premium if such a specific risk is
p resent, b ut w il l try to tax th e p art of th e p rem ium w h ich covers th e risk in scop e of th e
parafiscal charge.
The administration responsible for the parafiscal charges maintains a list with various
p ercentag es f or various insurance p roducts w h ich th ey deem as covering th e risk in
scope for the parafiscal charges. With respect to the percentages applied, insurers can
neg otiate deviating p ercentag es, esp ecial l y if th ey are a nonresident insurer th at p rovides
insurance coverage in Belgium, but not through a product which has been specifically
created f or th e B el g ian m ark et, as such p roducts tend to p rovide coverag e w h ich w oul d
not necessarily be included in a typical Belgian insurance product. There are specific
parafiscal charges dealing with fire, hospitalization, vehicle and accident risk.
For completeness, it should be noted that each parafiscal charge must be calculated and
rep orted in th eir p rop er return.
T a x a u d it c o n s id e r a t io n s
Th e tax auth orities are rel ativel y active in search ing insurance coverag e f or w h ich no
premium tax or parafiscal charges have been paid.
Th ey tend to f ol l ow an estab l ish ed p ath w h en doing so. I n p rincip l e, th e tax auth orities w il l
l ook f or p ol icyh ol ders w h ich are l ik el y to sub scrib e to international insurance p rog ram s
and audit th ese th oroug h l y. Th ey can do th is as f or I P T p urp oses a j oint l iab il ity exists
b etw een th e insurance com p any, insurance interm ediaries and p ol icyh ol der. I t is easier f or
th e auth orities to audit B el g ian residents th an a f oreig n insurance com p any w h ich w oul d
p rovide th e necessary inf orm ation in various l ang uag es and in various f orm ats.
Th is m eans th at if one of an insurer’ s cl ients is audited, th e insurer w il l receive B el g ian I P T
q uestions f rom tw o sides, nam el y f rom th eir cl ient and th e tax auth orities. Th is coul d l ead
to rep utational dam ag e f or th e insurer.
It is noteworthy that the IPT legislation contains a specific statute of limitation regime
which diverges significantly from the ordinary regime, meaning that the IPT authorities
can g o b ack up to six years.

Even though significant fines are possible, we have noticed that the authorities are willing
to negotiate regarding the amount of fines due and even waive said fines in the event of
reg ul ariz ations and discussions. O b viousl y m uch dep ends on th e l evel of coop eration and
