Tax

Belgium has no general capital gains tax for private investors on listed securities held as part of normal wealth management. Trading classified as "speculative" by the FPS Finance is taxed at a flat 33%. A stock-exchange tax (TOB) applies to most transactions; CFD/forex profits typically fall into the speculative bucket and should be self-declared.

Retail trading rules

Binary options are prohibited for retail clients under the 2016 Royal Decree. CFDs and rolling-spot forex are restricted (ESMA — 1:30 leverage on majors, negative balance protection mandatory). FSMA's warnings list flags unlicensed brokers, but listing alone does not block account opening.
