Maybe this is the wrong place to post this question but couldn't think of a better one.

Does anyone know of an online tax calculator for Belgium? Or alternatively some anecdotal examples of taxation and likely deductions?

I have a potential offer to move there and the recruiter (here comes the skepticism) advises me that as a non-Belg I won't have to pay the exceptionally high tax rate. I can't find anything online (that's working) to give me even a rough idea and no mention of any special tax rate for other EU citizens.

Any constructive help appreciated.

Cheers

There is no exception for expats in BE.
Unless you are employee of EU or working in black.
Trust me.
