On 3 July 1969, Belgium introduced a Value Added Tax (VAT)-type turnover tax on the supply of goods and services, the supply of certain transportation vehicles , and importation. In January 1971, it replaced the old cumulative turnover taxes.
VAT in Belgium is called Belasting over de toegevoegde waarde (BTW) / Taxe sur la valeur ajoutée (TVA).
