About this statute

This preamble identifies the measure as an order on withholding tax and notes that the Minister of State, the President of the Government, and the Minister of Finance are acting after referring to a prior grand-ducal order. The withholding tax applies to certain emoluments, including tantièmes and other variable emoluments of company administrators, commissioners, and directors. Some employers with fewer than 10 workers are exempt from the withholding, but others must withhold from all staff if any worker exceeds the stated pay limits. Tax withholding must be made when remuneration is paid, attributed, or booked, including valued benefits in kind. La retenue fiscale sur les rémunérations est calculée selon des barèmes fixés par le Directeur des Contributions; certains émoluments hors rémunération normale subissent une retenue de 5%.
