I just read the latest article from Kris V.H. in De Tijd. (Related to managment companies)

I already was negative about the future but now they genuinely are fucking my mind.

The CD&V + Voorruit ('christian democrats' and socialist) want all freelancers gone.

No employees and and only 1-2 clients will be the target is my guess.

The only way forward is moving out of Belgium or finding a way to have a company in Estonia/Malta/US LLC... without permanant establishment and reclassification fuck overs.

Like really instead of just going all in on lower taxes for employees and getting a real 20 perc cut in the government budget they are going after freelancers.

The freelancers with international clients might be able to move the company to a more tax friendly country, others seems the be fucked in 3-5 years.

If any of you have an idea to be prepared for the tsunami that is coming our way, feel free to share.

ING now seems to offer recurring ETF investments with a 0.1% transaction fee, capped at €1.

They mention no other transaction costs, and the eligible ETFs seem to have ongoing costs of around 0.07% to 0.20%.

This looks like a pretty compelling offer, especially since you can buy weekly. Given how volatile the market has been lately, weekly investing sounds interesting for DCA.

WDYT?

Personally, I don’t really like placing ETF orders manually every month, so paying up to €1/month in transaction fees seems acceptable to me.

Are there other large Belgian banks with similar offers? I know KBC has something comparable, but as far as I understand, without fractional shares.
