Do I have to pay taxes?
That depends on how much you earn. If your income remains under a certain amount, then you do not have to pay taxes. This maximum amount changes each year. The amount for 2023 is 14.514,29 euros. This is a gross amount, after deduction of social security contributions.
Note, this amount only applies if you:
- have no other taxable income than the wages from your student contract. Read more on means of living on the FPS Finance website (in French);
- state no actual professional costs on your tax return (the tax authorities then calculate a fixed amount)
Are you in a different situation? Or do you still have a question? Then contact FPS (Federal Public Service) Finance.
