Meta’s taxes in Belgium spark debate, European Commission requests fairer tax regulations. Yvan Verougstraete announced he will question Meta’s low taxes in parliament soon.

According to annual results, Facebook Belgium paid under one million euros tax.

Previous year’s tax payment almost doubled, raising questions about Meta’s reported turnover. Analyst Xavier Degraux suggested Meta’s actual Belgium revenue could be significantly higher.

Reported discrepancy comes from advertising sales being taxed advantageously through Ireland’s system. Verougstraete emphasized smaller businesses lack global tax advantages enjoyed by multinationals like Meta.
