What these numbers mean for you
The commune surcharge is not taken from your payslip separately: your employer withholds tax at a flat rate, and the real commune percentage is applied when your yearly tax assessment is calculated. That is why two colleagues with the same salary can get different refunds or bills if they live in different communes. Use our salary calculator for the monthly figure.
Property tax centimes only concern owners. The higher the number, the more the commune adds to the regional base tax on the cadastral income of the property.
Registering in Evere
When you move here you must register your address at the commune's population office (service population / dienst bevolking) shortly after you move in (your commune states the deadline); a police officer then checks that you actually live at the address. See our commune registration guides for the documents to bring.
