On 10 November 2023, the Luxembourg Constitutional Court made a landmark ruling declaring the minimum net wealth tax, applicable to Luxembourg companies, as partly unconstitutional.
Following to the court’s decision, Luxembourg companies (mainly SOPARFIs)- originally subject to a fixed minimum net wealth tax of 4,815€ – now find themselves eligible for a reduced tax burden of 1.605€ provided that their total balance sheet is comprised between 350,000€ and 2,000,000€ (regardless their aggregated fixed financial assets, transferable securities, inter-company receivables, and cash represent more than 90% of their total gross assets or not).
Any taxpayers in this position need to assess their NWT situation and take appropriate measures for a potential refund of the excess of NWT previously paid since 2017.
