Cross-border commuters that live in Germany and work in Luxembourg, and that have now been subjected to home office for more than 19 days, do not have to worry about taxation in their country of residence.

This was confirmed by Rhineland-Palatinate PM Malu Dreyer after speaking to the Federal Minister of Finance Olaf Scholz.

Our colleagues from Tageblatt reported on this matter based on information from the Trierischer Volksfreund.

Many cross-border commuters feared that the German government would request them to pay taxes at home, even though they worked in Luxembourg and are subject to tax there.
