Abstract: The study, produced in response to a request made by the federal government, examines the economic impact of the risk capital allowance. More particularly, it assesses the extent to which the objectives of the law of 22 June 2005 introducing an allowance for risk capital in the Belgian corporation tax system have been achieved. The study gives a brief presentation of the measures introduced by this law. It analyses the influence of these measures on the financial structure of corporations, their effect on the Belgian coordination centres – whose beneficial tax regime will soon be abolished – and their macroeconomic impact particularly investment and employment. Their budgetary implications on the basis of both macroeconomic and microeconomic data is then examined.
