Understanding the issue
Belgium has one of the highest tax burdens in the OECD, with labour taxed especially heavily while capital is taxed more lightly. The debate splits into two poles. Some want to cut taxes on labour and businesses to boost purchasing power and growth. Others call for greater redistribution, notably through a tax on large fortunes or the taxation of capital income.
