Claiming partial reimbursement or exemption from road vehicle tax for large families or disabled persons
Last update
All vehicles registered in Luxembourg and used on public roads are subject to road tax.
However, certain persons may, because of their state of health or the composition of their household, benefit either from a total exemption from this tax or from its partial reimbursement.
Who is concerned
The following are eligible:
- for a partial refund of the tax: families composed of at least 5 people who :
- reside in Luxembourg; and
- own a passenger car registered in Luxembourg;
- reside in Luxembourg; and
- for total exemption from the tax:
- disabled persons holding a B or C invalidity card (or war-disabled persons) who have registered a vehicle in Luxembourg; and
- able-bodied persons who have registered a vehicle in Luxembourg and are caring for an invalid or war-disabled person in their household.
- disabled persons holding a B or C invalidity card (or war-disabled persons) who have registered a vehicle in Luxembourg; and
How to proceed
Applying for a partial refund of the road vehicle tax as a family of at least 5 persons
Filing an application
The tax debtor may apply for a refund:
- using the form provided for this purpose. The application must be sent by post to the Environment Agency; or
- online via MyGuichet.lu.
The applicant can benefit from a partial refund of road vehicle tax up to a maximum of EUR 125 per year.
Reimbursement is only granted for one car per household. It is only reimbursed once a year provided that the applicant has no tax debt towards the Road Tax Revenue Department (Bureau de Recette Autos) of the Customs and Excise Agency (Administration des douanes et accises).
If the beneficiary has a debt, reimbursement remains pending until the debt is paid. Thus, there is no compensation between the amount due and the amount reimbursed.
Supporting documents
The applicant must include the following documents with their application:
- a copy of the valid road vehicle tax certificate;
- a copy of the registration certificate (carte grise) for the car in question.
Applying for exemption from road vehicle tax as an invalid/war disabled person or as a person caring for an invalid/war disabled person

The application must be sent by post to the Customs and Excise Agency - Central Office (Caisse Centrale).
Supporting documents
The applicant must accompany the application with:
- a copy of the disability card; or
- an attestation certifying the status of war victim.
