Since September 1st 2019, the Belgian legislator allows subscribers to a private legal protection insurance under certain conditions , to benefit from a 40% tax reduction on their premium. This regulation, the “Geens law“, was passed to provide access to justice for all. ARAG SE-Branch Belgium attaches great importance to this value. Therefore, we have launched two new products meeting the conditions of this regulation for subscribers to benefit from a tax reduction on their premium: the Individual FISC ACCESS and FISC GOLD. These products cover the individual in a multitude of areas of his private and professional life as an employee or civil servant.

As an insurer, ARAG SE - Branch Belgium is also committed to prevention. Thanks to the Legal HelpLine, ARAG customers can receive legal advice even before a dispute arises. This allows us to defuse difficult situations early on and help prevent conflicts. In addition, ARAG invests heavily in awareness campaigns on sensitive topics that can lead to legal issues. These include risks associated with internet use, such as phishing, cyberbullying, or sextortion.
