Car import from Luxembourg
Luxembourg is especially popular with new car importers: with a VAT rate of just 17% – the lowest in the EU – Luxembourg offers the highest savings potential when reclaiming foreign VAT.
Advantages of importing from Luxembourg
Luxembourg has the lowest VAT rate in the European Union: 17%. You pay this tax when buying from the dealer – and can reclaim it in full after export. Combined with attractive vehicle prices at large Luxembourg dealerships, this often results in considerable savings compared to buying in Switzerland. New cars in particular make Luxembourg worth a look: major brands such as Mercedes, Audi, BMW or Volkswagen are often available at lower prices there.
The import process from Luxembourg
Importing from Luxembourg works identically to importing from Germany or Belgium: 1. You purchase your chosen vehicle directly from the Luxembourg dealer. 2. We obtain the necessary documents (CoC, certificate of origin) and handle the export customs clearance. 3. Our transport partner collects the vehicle and brings it insured to Switzerland. 4. We handle import customs clearance, the CO₂ levy, the MFK roadworthiness inspection and registration in your canton.
Costs for a Luxembourg import
Swiss import taxes (8.1% VAT + 4% automobile tax) apply to imports from Luxembourg just as for imports from Germany. The Luxembourg VAT of 17% can be reclaimed from the dealer. For transport from Luxembourg, budget similar costs to a German import – both depend on the exact pick-up location. Use our calculator for a full cost overview.
