Prices are rounded to the nearest EUR 250 and mileage to 1,000 km, and every figure is a median over live adverts — not over sales.

What is on the market

Every powertrain with enough adverts in Luxembourg to publish, largest first. Groups too small to publish are not shown; how the thresholds work. The share is of the adverts this service holds for Luxembourg, so it describes the forecourt rather than the national fleet.

Bringing a car into Luxembourg

What a country charges to put a foreign car on its own plates is usually the largest term in a cross-border comparison: on one identical EUR 15,000 car it runs from about EUR 33 to about EUR 16,000 across Europe. Every figure below carries the document it came from and the date it was last checked. Where we have not verified one, this page says so instead of printing a number.

Registration tax

EUR 50 Verified

Luxembourg charges a EUR 50 stamp duty to register a vehicle last registered abroad. It is a tax rather than an administrative fee — the authority calls it a tax stamp — and it is the whole of the one-off charge: road tax is annual and collected separately, and VAT arises only on a new vehicle or one from outside the EU. This row read zero until 2026-09-06, which was wrong on paper.

VAT

17% Verified

Standard VAT rate as published by the European Commission's Taxes in Europe database. Shown for reference only. Whether VAT is actually due on a used car depends on the transaction rather than on the country, so no VAT charge is calculated anywhere in this service; the cases are set out in the method.

The limits below are the ones that attach to a worked example: a car first registered in 2019, old enough that no age-based exemption changes the answer. A newer car can be answered differently, and the records above say on what.

Where these numbers come from

Luxembourg is one of 23 national markets this service measures daily from public marketplace listings. The published figures are aggregates: a median needs at least 20 adverts behind it, a quartile at least 50, and counts below 500 are published as a band rather than exactly. No advert, seller or individual price is ever published. The full method is here.
