Question 1

How much road tax does a new diesel car pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

It is the WLTP CO₂ figure × 0.9 × a band factor, 0.5 up to 90 g/km and 0.1 more per 10 g. At the same CO₂ a diesel therefore pays half as much again as a petrol car.

Question 2

Is a new diesel car still worth buying in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

For long motorway commutes, heavy loads and towing it can be, as a diesel uses less fuel than a petrol engine of similar power. For short trips a petrol, hybrid or electric car usually suits better, and each takes a lower tax factor.

Question 3

What does it cost to register a new diesel car in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

There is no registration tax, only a €50 stamp at the SNCA, and the dealer usually handles the registration. The first contrôle technique, the roadworthiness test, is due when the car is four years old.

Question 4

Can a cross-border worker buy a new diesel car in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the SNCA registers cars only for residents listed in the national register. A buyer living in France, Belgium or Germany registers the car at home, under that country's rules and taxes.
