# How does withholding tax work in Luxembourg?

In Luxembourg, taxes on income from salaried employment or pensions are withheld at source by the employer.

The employer uses the tax card, also known as the "fiche de retenue d'impôt" to do so.

The tax will be paid by the employer to the Tax Authorities, meaning that it is directly withheld from the gross salary negotiated with the employer, which means that you receive your net salary after this deduction.
