The Flemish Government had agreed that then job bonus that can be as much as 650 euro/annum for those on the lowest wages would be scrapped if the federal tax reform would at least compensate for it by reducing the amount payable in income tax.
However, as the federal tax reform won’t come into effect just yet, the job bonus will remain for the time being. This means that the Flemish government will have to look for the 242 million per annum it had hoped to save by scrapping the job bonus elsewhere.
The job bonus is paid out annually. Those that are entitled to it have to register their bank account number with the Flemish authorities “Mijn Burgerprofiel” website.
