they leave their capital directly flows in the national economics.
The Belgian premier Verhofstadt has communicated that Monday

levies as belgians their capital on mainly Luxembourg black accounts

Belgium on a bank account each year the usual tax of 15 per cent
concerning their interest must pay. There an exemption of
approximately 1500 euro applies. Interest concerning saving that

European agreement as from 2005 with 35 per cent is charged. (c)
