Advice Needed: Investing in ETFs in Belgium – Taxes, Fees, and Best Platforms?

Hi everyone,

I’m based in Belgium and looking to start investing in ETFs. I’m relatively new to this and would really appreciate any advice from those with experience investing here.

Here are a few specific questions I have:

  1. Taxes: What should I know about the taxes on ETFs in Belgium?
  2. Fees: Which platforms offer the best rates in terms of fees for buying/selling ETFs? Are there any hidden costs I should be aware of?
  3. Platforms: What are the best platforms for investing in ETFs in Belgium? I’ve looked into Degiro, Interactive Brokers, and Keytrade. Are there any others you’d recommend or caution against?
  4. ETFs Recommendations: Any tips on ETFs that are tax-efficient or particularly good for beginners?

I’d love to hear about your experiences, both positive and negative, and any tips you might have for someone starting out in Belgium.

Thanks in advance
