I don’t mean to offend you but as a foreigner living in Brussels the taxes and overall cost of living, for the services you receive, are shockingly terrible.
The inefficieny of the Belgium bureaucracy is like nothing I have ever seen before and if Italy is any worse I can’t blame a single soul for abandoning ship.
I visited Milan a month ago and was very happily surprised at how clean and orderly the city seemed. A welcomed reprieve from graffiti and trash dominated Brussels.
- growlist 8y agoCounterpoint, I received a tax rebate in the post a couple of years after leaving Belgium to return to the UK. Somehow I doubt the UK's tax office would be so diligent in seeking out former taxpayers abroad to return money to them!
- stzup7 8y agoThey are. After a 6 months internship in the UK and without telling/asking them anything, they returned money to me a year later.
- RugnirViking 8y agoCan confirm, I also recieved a nice rebate almost a year after leaving my old job due to a clerical error by them meaning I was taxed for a few months after I left.
