Afterwards, he focused his presentation on pension and life insurance and their tax advantages. 

Ms Sylvie Leick, Partner, EY, presented information in relation to the preparation of income tax returns in Luxembourg. Her presentation covered several aspects of taxes and more precisely: tax residency and concepts, tax classes, types of income,  tax return and  tax rates with the filling formalities for income.

He gave a technical overview, explaining the application process for a residence permit, and outlined three investor immigration pathways.
