    Can I deduct the cost of my vehicle in my business tax return?

    In principle, lease payments for the use of professional vehicles may be deductible. However, if you wish to take out a long-term lease as a self-employed or freelance professional, please refer to the legal and tax framework governing your profession.

  • icone faq question
    What happens if I exceed my contractual mileage?

    During the term of the agreement, it’s possible to change the term and mileage (subject to the maximum authorised term and mileage limits for the vehicle in question) up to three months before the vehicle is returned.


    The monthly rent is then adjusted. It’s important to estimate your mileage carefully when the agreement is signed. In the event of excess mileage, an amendment to the lease will be proposed, setting out a new lease payment and a new mileage allowance.

    Is it possible to buy the car at the end of the agreement?

    Long-term leases don’t include the option to buy the vehicle when the lease term ends. The vehicle remains the property of the lessor, Arval Luxembourg, which is responsible for selling the car on the second-hand market when the agreement expires.


    However, if at the end of the lease you wish to purchase the vehicle, Arval Luxembourg may sell it to you at the market price.

    What’s the difference between a finance lease and an operating lease?

    Financial leasing is a financing solution that lets you finance your purchase while continuing to manage any upkeep, maintenance, repairs, etc.


    An operating lease is a more comprehensive long-term solution, including the lease of the vehicle as well as any related costs (insurance, tyres, etc.).


    Unlike a finance lease, an operating lease only involves the long-term rental of vehicles.
