The tax benefits in detail

Whether you opt for a single premium payment or payment in instalments, the premium you pay will be tax deductible if you submit a tax return in Luxembourg.

  • The deductible amount of a single premium payment varies depending on your age and the composition of your household (see table).
  • The annual premiums can be tax-deductible up to EUR 672 per person in your household.
  • A combination of one-off payment and annual premium payments often proves attractive in terms of taxation.
