On a window replacement, moving from the standard VAT rate to 3% makes a real difference. The total benefit is capped per home.

3% VAT explained simply

In Luxembourg, the state applies a reduced VAT rate to renovation work on homes. You do not claim it back later: once the application is approved, the company invoices you directly at the reduced rate.

The conditions

  • A home more than 10 years old, or renovation within 5 years of buying it.
  • A main residence, lived in by the owner or by a tenant.
  • A cap of €50,000 of VAT benefit per home.
  • An application before the work starts, made jointly by the company and the owner.
  • A quote of at least €3,000 excluding VAT for the direct procedure.
  • Windows and doors are among the eligible works.

These conditions are summarised for information only, subject to eligibility. Only the administration’s decision is binding: see the official page of the Registration Duties, Estates and VAT Authority.
