Marie-Curie EIF - from Belgium to UK - Income tax question

["Stan Guy-Bart" <GB.Stan@DROPMEulg.ac.be>]

Dear all,

I have a question about the taxation regime of my contract. I have a
Marie-Curie Intra-European Fellowship contract of one year for UK. I am
domiciliated in Belgium and would like to know my taxation regime.

I have read all the documents I could find on the subject (Belgian
taxation law, UK taxation law - IR20 in particular, UK Fellow document
from the MCFA, double taxation agreement UK-Belgium) and still it is not
clear to me if the Fellowship should be taxed or not nor where it should
be taxed.

Since I am domiciliated in Belgium, I would expect to be taxed only in
Belgium under the double taxation agreement UK - Belgium. If so, under
belgian income tax law, I wonder if this fellowship cannot be considered
as a grant (bourse in french) which would imply that it is not subject to
income taxes!
For the mobility allowance, as far as I understand it is not taxable by
definition.

Does anyone have some answers or know who I should contact in order to
avoid any confusion before I sign my contract.

I thank you very much in advance for your help
