Kosovo and Belgium have signed a bilateral agreement aimed at eliminating double taxation, marking a significant step toward strengthening economic cooperation and encouraging cross-border investment.
The agreement, announced by the Ministry of Finance of Kosovo, covers taxes on income and capital, while also addressing the prevention of tax evasion and avoidance.
Kosovo’s Finance Minister, Hekuran Murati, stated that the deal will create more favorable conditions for investors and facilitate business operations in both countries. He emphasized that reducing tax barriers is expected to enhance economic activity and attract new investments.
On the Belgian side, Finance Minister Jan Jambon welcomed the agreement, highlighting the importance of deepening economic ties with Kosovo. He also reaffirmed Belgium’s continued support for Kosovo’s European integration efforts.
Officials noted that the agreement represents a shared commitment to improving transparency and aligning with international tax standards, while promoting fair taxation practices.
The deal is expected to benefit companies and individuals operating between the two countries by preventing the same income from being taxed twice, thereby reducing costs and administrative burdens.
This development comes amid ongoing diplomatic engagement between Kosovo and Belgium, reflecting broader efforts to strengthen bilateral relations and expand economic collaboration.
