Capital gains tax on shares: why a timely valuation is essential

On 1 January 2026, Belgium introduced a new capital gains tax on financial assets, including unlisted shares. For entrepreneurs, this may have a significant impact on a future sale, transfer or succession planning. One element is crucial: the value of your business as at 31 December 2025. Without a substantiated certified valuation, you risk falling under the government's standard tax valuation method, which in many cases results in a higher taxable capital gain.
