Claim your tax back from Luxembourg

You can claim your tax back after the tax year has ended. However, it is important to note that you must claim your tax back within a year.
The tax year in Luxembourg runs from 1 January – 31 December.

On average it takes 6 to 9 months for Luxembourg tax returns to be processed. It is usually sent out to us after this time and we will then send it directly on to you.
You can keep track of how your refund is progressing with your online tracker account.

Yes. It’s better if you declare it, specifically if you worked in Luxembourg for less than nine months. The tax office will ask us for this information when we submit your application so it’s better for us to know this from the start.

No, we can’t, but our estimate is based on all the information you send us so it’s usually pretty close.
In the end, the Luxembourg tax office has the final say about the size of the refund you get.

The amount of money you get back will depend on your specific circumstances.
However, on average, our customers get back €1,109 in overpaid tax.
The size of your refund will depend on the following factors:

• Your earnings
• How long you stayed in Luxembourg
• Whether you earned outside Luxembourg

Occasionally, it can take longer than usual to process your refund application. This can happen for a number of reasons, including:

• Internal delays in the tax office
• Missing documents
• Underpaid tax from a previous year

Throughout the process your account manager will keep in regular contact with both yourself and the tax office to keep you updated on the progress of your application.
