News On 10 February 2012, the income tax treaty (Treaty) between Belgium and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was published in the Belgian Official Gazette. The government parties reached an agreement on a redrafted version of the proposed anti-abuse provision for income tax purposes, registration duties and inheritance tax (Art. 344, §1 ITC 92, art. 18, §2 Code Registration Duties, art. 116 Code Inheritance Taxes). Robust demand fundamentals, strong balance sheets and an appetite for growth will drive a step-up in M&A in the global mining and metals sector in 2012. The tax administration recently published an Administrative Circular, which deals with the tax treatment of the reimbursement of share capital in the framework of capital decreases by foreign companies (Administrative Circular Ci.RH.231/602.851 (AAFisc./AGFisc N° 2/2012) of 10 January 2012, available on Fisconetplus). Recently, the European Commission formally requested the Netherlands to modify its rules on the treatment of members of supervisory boards for VAT purposes so as to make the rules comply with EU legislation.
