I could have the opportunity to work in Luxembourg but seriously thinking about living there, working there etc.



I am serching for anyone who knows how is the environment there, which kind of facilities etc.



A fiscally very friendly place, the friendliest in the entire E.U. Wages are generally higher, social security is very good, German and France are not too far away (if you cross the street in Mondorf-les-Bains you are in France and Remich (Germany) is 50 km away. I

I do not know whether you are going to work there as a trainee, a \"fonctionaire\". If I am not mistaken you must be fonctionaire to get all the Eurocratic advantages included in the Treaty between the E.U.-employee and the E.U./EBI. Maybe the EBI intervines with regard to housing ? You are not too far away from the heart of the Ardennes. It is a quiet green place. If you have kids and a family you will have your hands full. It seems to have changed, but 10 years ago there was not so much nightlife in Luxembourg. For that you had to go to Saarbrücken or to Belgium (Arlon). Car taxes are very low. A car without VAT nly if you have a VAT-number and are going to export the car (in which case you have to import the car in another E.U. and pay the taxes of this country) or are fonctionnaire (EU-license plates). VAT in Luxembourg is about 16%





(I know that, fr example, you van buy a car without VAT, your children can go to the european school for free etc).



Thank you very much,
