Auxadi Luxembourg
Luxembourg is home to one of the most stable economies in the EU and, despite its small size, ranks as the second largest fund domicile in the world. Its transport infrastructure is well developed, with direct access to the rest of Europe and North Sea ports, and its technology infrastructure is renowned. Luxembourg is also the home of the European Court of Justice, making it an important EU centre.
Luxembourg is the second-largest fund domicile in the world and Luxembourg-based investment funds have a dominant share in Europe and are the vehicle of choice in many parts of Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Luxembourg’s funds also benefit from the European Passport, meaning that funds (and their managers) comply with the EU UCITS Directive, the AIFM Directive (known as AIFMD) and can be marketed to investors in the European Economic Area.
The government of Luxembourg has been working to make the country even more attractive for FDI, offering fiscal benefits for equipment and construction projects, focused on key innovative industries like: logistics, ICT, health technologies (including biotech and biomedical research), clean energy, space technologies, and financial services tech.
It’s a massive financial hub, a first choice for many sectors and is definitely one of the most favourable domiciles in Europe, but local knowledge is essential to navigate the lengthy processes and intensive regulations.

Tax Specialists
Although Luxembourg has favourable tax treaties with a number of countries and relatively low corporate tax rates, its business tax requirements can be difficult. Companies must face many different taxes each year, including federal and municipal taxes. There are also entity-specific taxes, like a wealth tax on 0.5% up to €500 million, and a 0.1–0.5% subscription tax on transferable securities.
2021 saw the introduction of a new Real Estate Levy of 20% on certain investment fund vehicles.
Let our expert tax team in Luxembourg take care of intricate local taxation rules, using our purpose built automation technology, so you and your operations remain tax compliant.
- Tax compliance – covering multinational, federal, state, and municipal taxes

Payroll Specialists
Around 50% of Luxembourg’s workers live outside the country’s borders and commute in to work – an entirely feasible option given the excellent transport links, high costs of living, and small geographic size of Luxembourg. Known as frontier workers, these country-commuters benefit from the best of both worlds for taxes and costs of living, but they can provide payroll headaches for employers.
Frontier workers’ pay taxes in Luxembourg for the income earned in Luxembourg; they don’t pay taxes in Luxembourg for their worldwide income as they are non-residents. They pay Luxembourg social security just like residents, but they are not entitled to the same benefits as residents.
Our experienced and knowledgeable team of payroll specialists in Luxembourg will use our unique payroll technology platform to manage your corporate payroll function.
