The Luxembourg government has just announced some extremely interesting new tax measures if you want to make a rental investment in Luxembourg. These are designed to stimulate real estate investment by individuals.
In a previous article, Barbara CBRE's Streibel explained the new support for buying your primary residence in Luxembourg. Now it's the turn of Paul Fabeck of BRICKS Real Estate to highlight, in his video, the 3 measures that make 2024 the best year for rental investment.
New Tax Measures: A Lever for Rental Investment
According to Paul Fabeck, 2024 opens up unprecedented prospects for rental property investors. These will end on December 31. It's high time to buy your apartment if you want to take advantage.
The 3 most interesting measures are :
- The brand-new Bëllenger Akt" investor tax credit which reduces registration fees by €20,000 per individual. In the case of a couple purchasing a property, the reduction is €40,000.
- Accelerated depreciation increases to 6% over 6 years with a tax ceiling of €250,000.
These 2 advantages are limited in time! They are reserved exclusively for acquisitions made en état futur d'achèvement (VEFA) by individuals. They must be before December 31, 2024. To qualify, the purchaser must commit to letting the property for a minimum of 2 years.
The new apartments in Brooklyn are eligible for these measures as work is already underway. From obtaining your bank loanThe deeds are notarized. You can therefore benefit directly from these new favorable measures.

This is the case, for example, if the apartment is located in an older building that no longer complies with energy standards. It's in your interest to sell it quickly and buy another new apartment in Luxembourg, since the new property will be covered by a ten-year warranty, and you'll benefit from all 3 2024 tax measures.
