ATAD interest limitation rules implemented in Belgium

Anti Tax Avoidance Directive - Status after RD 20-12-2019

A Royal Decree on the interest limitation rules provided by the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (‘ATAD’) was published just before the end of last year. This was important, because the previously-enacted legal framework (the Law of December 25, 2017 and the Law of July 30, 2018) had left some important modalities open to be adopted by Royal Decree.
