Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / Belgian Tax Form
French term or phrase: timbres fidélité
The document is a Belgian tax form.

Under the heading "Remunerations" there is the term "timbres fidélité".

I found the explanation in French "Chaque ouvrier a droit aux timbres de fidélité. Le montant est de 9% de votre salaire brut (entre le 1er juillet et le 30 juin). Fin octobre, vous recevez une carte de timbres de la part du fonds." but I just don't know if there is an official translation or an equivalent in English. Would really appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

Loyalty card stamps
Explanation:
The Belgian loyalty stamp is a benefit provided (in the form of an annual bonus) to building workers by the social security fund for workers in the construction industry, to reward them for their loyalty to the construction sector and to encourage them to continue to work in the industry. Employers pay a contribution to the fund. The contribution is collected by the PDOK (employers' office for organisation and supervision of social security systems). The rules on the loyalty stamp apply not only to Belgian companies but also to foreign companies that send staff to Belgium to carry out building work.
