Foire aux questions (Statutory FAQs)
What are the cross-border teleworking tolerance thresholds for Luxembourg commuters?
Commuters residing in France, Germany, and Belgium can telework from their home country up to 34 days per calendar year without altering Luxembourg tax jurisdiction. If a worker exceeds 34 telework days, income earned on days worked from home becomes taxable in the country of residence.
What are the income tax classes (classes d'impot) in Luxembourg?
Luxembourg tax cards distinguish three classes: Class 1 (single individuals without children); Class 1a (single parents, widowed persons, and individuals aged 65+); and Class 2 (married couples and registered civil partners assessed jointly).
How does resident assimilation (Article 157ter LIR) work for non-resident cross-border workers?
Non-resident commuters can opt to be taxed as Luxembourg tax residents under Article 157ter LIR if at least 90% of their worldwide household income is earned in Luxembourg (reduced to 85% for Belgian residents), allowing access to joint Class 2 tax scale benefits and deductions.
Are social security contributions paid in Luxembourg or the country of residence?
Under EU Regulation 883/2004 and the multilateral telework framework, cross-border workers remain affiliated with Luxembourg social security (CCSS) as long as teleworking in their country of residence does not exceed 49.9% of total working time.
What deductions are available for cross-border commuters filing a tax return (Modele 100)?
Filing form 100 allows commuters to deduct mortgage interest on their primary residence, debit loan interest, supplementary private pension contributions (Art. 111bis LIR), and mutual health insurance premiums up to statutory ceilings.
