The statement from the Women’s Federation, signed by president Astrid Lulling, expresses satisfaction over the fact that direct inheritances are not taxed in Luxembourg. However, the organisation demands a law to extend this regulation to third-degree family members.
The FNFL argues that many women used to be prohibited from marrying due to professional reasons, which in return incentivised them to establish closer relations with their nieces and nephews, as well as their children and grand-children.
The organisation thus hopes that their demand for an extension of the inheritance tax exemption will be considered.
