1. What kind of company?
An estimate for a company in Luxembourg City using the rates in force. It ignores expenses linked to exempt income, losses carried forward and tax credits. Net wealth tax is shown as the minimum only. We confirm your figures on a call.
Rates for companies resident in Luxembourg City. Outside the capital only the municipal business tax changes.
Dividends and exit gains from subsidiaries held at 10% or EUR 1.2m (EUR 6m for gains) for 12 months are fully exempt.
Dividends that miss the exemption are still half exempt if they come from a normally taxed EU or treaty-country company.
80% of qualifying income from patents and software you developed is exempt, giving an effective rate below 5%.
A Luxembourg parent and its 95% Luxembourg subsidiaries can offset profits and losses in one return.
Interest, royalties and liquidation proceeds leave Luxembourg without withholding tax.
Treaties and the EU directives can reduce the dividend rate further. The owner's own country may still tax what it receives.
Luxembourg applies the EU anti-avoidance rules in full: interest deductions are capped at 30% of EBITDA or EUR 3 million, low-taxed foreign subsidiaries can be taxed under CFC rules, and hybrid mismatches are denied. Groups with EUR 750 million in revenue pay at least 15% under the global minimum tax.
We plan the structure with these rules in view, and add the substance that tax offices and banks expect.
