We work for the government. Warrant schemes can only help so much.

  1. Het is nog erger als je aandelenopties krijgt.
    Dan betaal je belastingen op de fictieve waarde. Maar als de aandelen zouden zakken zijn de opties niets waard ondanks je er wel belastingen op betaald hebt.

    Al die extra uren en weekends voor een fraaie bonus van -10.000.

    Edit in English: Things can even get worse. If you are awarded stock options you will get taxed on the hypothetical profit (15%) of these options right at the moment you receive them.
    If stocks do not go up at least 15%, you end up paying more taxes then the actual received bonus.

  2. Oei, kwist niet dat ze ook Warrants deden voor zulke kleine bedragen?

  3. well we have to pay these outrageous taxes because we have to support howevermany governments, tons of communities, provinces, parliaments, triplicate ministries, people who are on “disability” for depression, anxiety, unspecified pains, “burnout”, people who get unemployment forever and people who are eligible for no welfare yet some mayor determines they are still eligible so they get the leefloon, mostly french speaking of course, nice high pensions for public servants and train people retiring at 55, and of course belgium MUST sponsor a ton of NGOs that get almost no donations and campaign against our very way of life. without these things the country would collapse you see

    oh and there’s a deficit by the way

  4. This image is misleading because the main savings on Warrants is that the employer doesn’t pay the SS and neither do you so you get more.

    Based on this I guess your original bonus would have been about 16.5k which would have cost your employer 21.5k to pay you. Instead they give that extra to you in Warrants instead of paying employers SS contributions so in reality you’ve got 11.5k take home on 16.5k in bonus – a tax rate of roughly 30% which is pretty normal on bonus money

  5. geen zorgen, Bartje en king Connah gaan er voor zorgen dat werken meer gaat lonen*

    ** Dit geldt alleen voor zij die het absolute minimum verdienen, de middenklasse zal zoals het er nu naar uit ziet geen cent beter worden van de geplande aanpassingen.*

  6. I said it before and I’ll say it again: considering Belgians have the 3rd highest median wealth of any country in the world, there are few places where it’s easier to build wealth than in Belgium.

    If you fail at building wealth, it’s likely a you problem, not a problem with taxes being too high.

    Because almost all countries that have lower taxes than us, also see their median citizens build far less wealth than us while the rich take home a lot more.

    If you want to emulate those countries, where the median Belgian is made poorer in favor of the rich getting more, then I call you crazy

  7. EDIT: misread the title

    Given that warrants are max 20% of your yearly salary, I don’t want anymore complaints about government employees not receiving enough salary.
