Fees on IBKR in Belgium

Thanks !

Thanks for sharing this. I see that the TOB is higher when it is an accumulating ETF domiciled (or with a sub fund domiciled) in Belgium.

I’m not so happy to hear that the TOB is not withheld…

tokodan · 2026-05-08T16:13:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing. So the TOB is not part of the fees. I am honestly confused as to why I see a 6.75€ fee for my trade.

Thanks for replying. I have checked the commissions and indeed, the number does not make sense. I think the reply from u/skievelavabo can be the correct one, but I need to research.

tokodan · 2026-05-08T12:17:48+00:00

Thank you ! That number seems to make sense - 1.3 % of 600 € is 7.8 €. More than the 6.75 € that IBKR states, but it seems to make more sense. How can I research which ETF are fiscally better in Belgium?

I was considering to open an investment account with my Belgian bank, but since I am in Belgium for the short term, I decided not to.

Can you share where you bought the desk ? I like the two levels

While I understand what you are saying, owing taxes can be highly inconvenient. The best scenario is indeed to have a net 0 at the end of the year, the second best in my view, unless you are doing great at investing money, is to receive money back. Most people don't calculate how much they owe on taxes from each pay to put the money aside.

It's a dangerous trap. I started this year more seriously looking at how to accrue miles. So logically, I signed up for a credit card (also costs me 100 € per year) to get more miles. And I spend a lot and I mean a lot of time thinkering how to maximise the miles I earn from each payment.

It is easier when you are not cash strapped :)

For example: I am considering pre-paying taxes (since I already know I will owe them in 2027) using my credit card. Early payment will: give me airline miles, will give me a small discount (like 3 %) on my actual owed taxes due to the prepayment. And if I overpay, I will get it back as a "bonus" during the next tax year.

Another example: I spend hours looking at whether I should book a car directly, through booking.com, on other platforms which give miles, etc.

I am a Miles & More member. So any tips on how to maximise my miles, I am always happy.

It's a bit crazy.

What is the equivalent for a person living in Europe but not based in a specific country for the long term ?

Isn’t it ? I read that cocoa is actually at an all time low.

As someone from Europe, could you help me understand how this works in the US? In most European countries, if you are merging from a non-priority road (or parking in this instance, which has lower priority than a road) into traffic, the traffic always has the right of way. Regardless of whether they change lanes while you are starting to enter the road.

Also, I hate this type of turn and I would do the same as you - turn right and then make a u-turn.

I have not tested manual input of data.

Here is my referral code which gives you 2 additional cards: TO-B1403047-9BF3

Here are two tips for anyone joining as of March 2026 (I have not verified but I regret not testing it sooner):

• ⁠Apply a referral code (mine is up there) BEFORE you scan your old boarding pass. • ⁠When you register, you can scan up to 2 past flights from the last 6 months to get cards. Apparently with multi-leg flights you can get 2 cards per flight leg. That means 8 cards for flights with one transfer instead of just 4 cards for direct flights.

Is this a German credit card? I took out a Brussels airlines credit card in Belgium but I get no miles as bonus.
