🛎️ Update on Luxembourg SPF Residence Certificates Luxembourg Specialized Investment Funds (SPFs), which are designed to manage private wealth, act as specialized entities for the acquisition, holding, management, and realization of financial assets. While they provide numerous advantages, it is important to note that SPFs cannot engage in commercial activities. One of the key advantages of SPFs is their exemption from income, municipal business, and net wealth taxes. However, they are subject to an annual subscription tax, which may soon see an increase. A Draft Law introduced on July 17th, 2024, proposes raising this tax from EUR 100 to EUR 1,000 and adjusting the taxable debt calculation to the first day of the SPF’s financial year. Luxembourg's Tax Authorities issued new guidelines (Circular LIR No. 159/2) on June 4th, 2024, confirming that SPFs can be recognized as Luxembourg residents if they meet the criteria outlined in Article 159 of the Luxembourg Income Tax Law, which includes having a registered office or central administration in Luxembourg. In this case, the Direct Tax Administration will issue a Residence Certificate confirming the status, which is required for a variety of administrative and legal purposes.

BLI - Banque de Luxembourg Investments' Financial Analyst Raphaël Fürst has published a new blog article covering the topic “The Duality of the Chinese Equity Market: ‘uninvestable’ versus fundamentally attractive”. In his publication, Raphaël points out that the Chinese government’s recent regulations towards internet companies were certainly unforeseen. The emergence of unconventional high growth business models fostered by internet companies led to unbalanced and disproportionate inequalities across the country’s society, and negative externalities on the economy as a whole. 👉 English version: https://lnkd.in/eM8_rhSd 👉 Version française : https://lnkd.in/ejT3kaHv 👉 Deutsche Version: https://lnkd.in/eveCPDxr #marketingcommunication #china #equitymarkets #duality #analysis #financialmarkets #assetmanagement #luxembourg
