Save for tomorrow while enjoying tax benefits today!
The legislator encourages you to take out a private pension scheme contract by offering tax benefits, subject to certain regulatory constraints that include the following, in particular:
- you must be an individual taxpayer resident in Luxembourg, or equivalent,
- you must be under 65 years old,
- you must take out a policy for a minimum term of 10 years,
- the minimum age at which you may redeem the policy is 60 years and the maximum is 75 years of age,
- the maximum annual amount deductible per individual taxpayer: EUR 3.200.
When the policy matures, you can choose between:
- a lump-sum payment of all the capital accumulated,
- payment in the form of a lump sum for up to 50% of the capital accumulated and the remainder in the form of a monthly annuity,
- payment of all the capital accumulated in the form of an annuity (half of the amount of your monthly life annuity is tax-exempt).

Yes, provided that you are a taxpayer in Luxembourg, i.e. that you earn more than 90% of your combined foreign and domestic wages in Luxembourg (or 50% if you are a Belgian resident). In this case, the non-resident taxpayer is considered a resident taxpayer and enjoys the same deductions and reductions.

At Spuerkeess, there are no subscription fees, nor charges for early redemption (before the S-Pension contract reaches maturity) or for redemption at maturity. However, capital withdrawn prior to the maturity date will be taxed by the Luxembourg Direct Contributions Administration at the normal rate (see chart), except in the case of death, debilitating injury or illness.
