On 1 January 2017, Brussels Fiscality became a public service in its own right in order to implement the 2016-2017 tax reform, transfer taxes to the regions and lead new innovative projects.

Brussels Fiscality's competences have expanded several times over the last few years.

• 1 February 2017: creation of the tax on tourist accommodation establishments (hotel, campsite, B&B, etc.).
• 1 January 2018: participation in implementing the Brussels Low Emission Zone (LEZ) with other administrations. Brussels Fiscality is responsible for processing warnings and fines.
• 2018: takeover of property tax management.
• August 2019: launch of the MyTax digital platform, making it easier for taxpayers to manage their tax procedures.
• 1 January 2020: takeover of road taxes management, previously managed by the FPS Finance.
• 2023: creation of the tax on taxi service booking intermediaries.
