Euregio Meuse -
Rhine
(Belgium - Netherlands - Germany)
Comparison of framework conditions
At the border between Germany (the Aachen region), Belgium (provinces
of Limburg and Liège, and the German-Speaking Community) and the
Netherlands (provinces of Limburg and North Brabant), this cross-border
territory displays very few differences in terms of framework conditions.
Nevertheless, in terms of corporation tax for example, the level in the
Netherlands (25%) is lower than in Germany (15%, to which is added
another 15% from the tax on industrial and commercial activities) and
Belgium (34%).
