- Proximus, Mobistar, BASE Company and their respective CEOs - Dominique Leroy, Jean-Marc Harion, and Jos Donvil - decided to meet on Friday 12 June 2015 to draw attention to the impossible choice that the telecom sector in Brussels may have to face.

 

This week, operators in Brussels learned in the press that the Brussels Government intends to apply a new tax on mobile telephony infrastructure in the Brussels Region. This tax aims to achieve a return of 10 million euro per year for the regional budget. It would give the communities the possibility to draw a similar amount, for a total sum of 20 million euro per year for the sector.

 

As a whole, the Wallonia and Brussels taxes combined would impose an additional contribution on the sector of over 70 million euro annually.
