About this statute

This is the preamble of the law, stating its title and formal enactment language. This article introduces a withholding tax on interest payments made in Luxembourg to certain individual beneficial owners. The paying agent must treat a natural person with residence in Luxembourg as resident, unless the person provides a tax residence certificate from the competent authority of the state where they claim to be resident. Defines who counts as an “agent payeur” and deems certain Luxembourg entities to be authorized collective investment undertakings. Certain interest-related income is subject to a liberatory withholding tax when paid by a Luxembourg-established paying agent to a resident individual beneficial owner, subject to stated exclusions.
