After the PVDA accusations: our supermarkets really pay that much in taxes | Economy

As if stung by a wasp: this is how Colruyt responded to the claim by the far-left PVDA that the department store chain would “pay barely 0.27% in taxes on 1.8 billion euros in profit”. Which amounts to a paltry 5 million euros. “But that’s not right at all,” says both Colruyt and accountants. How much taxes do Belgian supermarkets really pay? We looked into it: “About a quarter of the profits go to Father State.”
