The legislation with regard to the unified status introduces a new tax exemption for the benefit of employers. They can exempt part of their profit or gains from taxes. The conditions for implementing this measure are stipulated in two Royal Decrees which have recently been published in the Moniteur Belge.
Due to the introduction of the unified status, the dismissal cost for a worker after 5 years of service in the unified status has increased in some cases compared to the dismissal cost in case of an identical length of service in the former scheme. It more particularly regards workers who were manual workers or junior non-manual workers in the former scheme.
To absorb the higher cost, a tax exemption for social liabilities has been introduced for the benefit of trading, industrial or agricultural enterprises, practitioners of independent professions, offices or posts, and of another commercial activity, including companies. These taxpayers can exempt part of their profit or gains from taxes. This exemption is equal to a certain amount of the income that they have granted to workers who have worked under the unified status for minimum 5 years of service. Therefore, the exemption cannot be granted earlier than 1 January 2019.
As far as the worker is concerned, he does not benefit from any tax advantage within the framework of the social liabilities measure.
The amount to be exempted from profit or gains amounts to:
By Royal Decree of 25 April 2014, the maximum amount of the gross monthly remuneration which serves as a basis for the exemption has been fixed:
Gross monthly remuneration
Exemption
Up to 1,500 EUR
100 %
Between 1,500 EUR and 2,600 EUR
30 %
Over 2,600 EUR
0
The maximum amount of the gross monthly remuneration and the 30 % coefficient may be amended in the future (taking into account amongst others the health index and the evolution of the wages).
When a worker, for whom an exemption was calculated, leaves the company (for whatever reason), the total amount which has been exempted for this worker must be included in the profit or gains of the taxable period in which the employment comes to an end.
To benefit from the social liabilities exemption, the employer must keep a list of names of the employed workers available for the administration, stating for every worker:
Since the exemption only starts after 5 years of service under the unified status, the measure will only take effect as from 2019.
