Staking rewards and interest in Belgium

Staking rewards and interest on lent crypto are treated as movable income. What the official texts say, what they leave open, and how the estimate handles it.

Checked November 2026Information, not tax advice

What the official texts say

The circular on the new tax on gains (2026/C/74) does not deal with staking. Compass-Alpha treats staking rewards and interest on lent crypto as movable income at 30%, separate from the 10% tax on gains and from the €10,000 exemption.

What is still open

Because the official guidance does not mention staking, points such as the exact moment of taxation and the value to use are not settled. This page is updated when the tax office publishes more.

Keep a record of each reward

Note the date and value of each reward when you receive it. Exchange files usually list rewards: the tax estimate reads them, values them at that day's price and adds them up per year.
