Regarding the discrepancy between their calculation of August 3 as the typical Belgian worker's Tax Freedom Day and that of PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC), L'Anglophone's authors wrote:<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.langlophone.com/fullbn.php?id=419 |title=Belgian Workers' Wages are Highest-Taxed in Western Europe |access-date=June 8, 2010 |archive-date=June 14, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100614021100/http://www.langlophone.com/fullbn.php?id=419 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

{{Blockquote|[PWC's] figures count revenue from all taxes (including those on corporate profits, petrol, cigarettes, &c.) and thus present a more complete picture of the country’s total tax burden," adding that it is "an average applied to all Belgians – not all Belgian workers; in 2008, less than half of Belgium’s population (4.99 million working out of 10.67 million citizens) was legally working. Consequently, a huge share of Belgium’s tax burden is borne by the working population.}}
