As populations age, pension systems all over the world are under pressure – and Luxembourg is no exception.To safeguard your long-term financial well-being and make the most of your retirement years, it's important to start saving today.
To encourage people to start planning early, the Luxembourg tax system also supports individuals who sign up to a pension savings scheme by offering tax benefits, up to a certain limit.
Thanks to its specific expertise, BGL BNP Paribas can help design a savings solution to support your lifestyle well into retirement while also improving your tax situation today. Don’t miss out!
Contributions paid into a pension savings scheme up until the end of December can be included in your tax return for the same year. You can therefore still benefit from attractive deductions this year, for example by using your contributions or your thirteenth month bonus.
