Abstract

Küreselleşen dünyada ekonomi literatürünü ilgilendiren birçok gelişme yaşanmıştır. Şüphesiz bunlardan en önemlilerden biri de vergilendirme ile ilgilidir. Nitekim küreselleşmeyle birlikte şirketler ulusal sınırların dışına çıkmış, bununla birlikte üretim faktörleri daha hareketli hale gelmiştir. Söz konusu gelişmelerin ışığında uluslararası vergilendirme son derece önemli hale gelmiştir. Çalışmada öncelikle uluslararası vergilendirme sorunları ele alınmış, daha sonra bu çerçevede Belçika vergi sistemi değerlendirilmiştir. Konunun daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi amacıyla da ülkenin vergi sistemi bütün olarak göz önüne alınmıştır. 2000 yılında Belçika vergi sisteminde yapılan reformlardan hedeflenen sonuçlara ulaşılamadığı görülmektedir. Amaçların nicel olmaktan ziyade nitel olması amaçların ulaşması önündeki en önemli engel olmuştur.
