On June 24, 2020, the Belgian Ministry of Finance issued a clarification of tax payment deadlines for non-resident individuals after the tax authority issued tax statements with the wrong due dates.

The deadlines in question depend on the dispatch date of tax statements relating to 2019 income tax returns for non-residents. Due to a technical error, the statements failed to reflect the two-month extension to the payment deadline put in place because of COVID-19.

The clarification is as follows:

• For statements with a dispatch date of May 12, 2020, the payment deadline is September 12, 2020.
• For statements with a dispatch date of May 27, 2020, the payment deadline is September 27, 2020.
• For statements with a dispatch date of June 5, 2020, the payment deadline is October 5, 2020.
• For statements with a dispatch date of June 12, 2020, the payment deadline is October 12, 2020.
