A new withholding tax rate

Like every year, there is a new withholding tax rate, in September, to replace the previously used rate, it is calculated from the spring 2024 tax return, so on the basis of the income received in 2023.

However, the change will not occur before January 1, 2025 if you have adjusted your rate since the beginning of the year (either before or after its announcement), and the rate you have chosen is higher than the administrative rate.
