Which businesses do we support in Liège?
Liège is one of Wallonia's main cities and the heart of a province with a very varied economy. The Liège Science Park, created in 1971, covers 117 hectares. It brings together biotechnology, aerospace, materials and engineering companies. Liège Airport, for its part, supports nearly 12,000 jobs, with 143 companies in its ecosystem. These major hubs sustain carriers, craftspeople, shopkeepers and liberal professionals around them. Local taxation also deserves attention. According to the UCM, a self-employed person in Liège province pays an average of €386 to their municipality. That is the highest average in Wallonia. An accountant who knows the tax regulations of the Liège municipalities helps you anticipate these costs.
