Industrial investment taxation in Wallonia: what does it mean for your business?

The measures announced as part of the Walloon budget are set to restore the situation that applied before the Walloon decree adopted at the end of 2025:

• Permanent exemption from property tax for qualifying machinery and equipment, covering investments made from 2006 onwards as well as future investments.
• Abolition of motive power taxes for equipment installed since 2006.

Structural funding of EUR 108 million is planned for municipalities to support the implementation of these changes. The timetable and practical arrangements will need to be specified in the relevant legislation.

For your company, the practical issue is clear: make sure your equipment actually benefits from the applicable exemptions and that the taxes assessed are calculated correctly.

ABV can support you by reviewing your cadastral data, investments and tax assessments to identify potential exemptions, corrections and recoveries.
