Thirdly, you must apply for a new registration plate. Some people prefer buying cars from EU countries as they get vehicles at a cheaper rate there. Value added tax is payable on a new car only. If a car is used and has a mileage more than six thousand kilometers, then no value added tax is charged.

In Luxembourg, a value added tax of fifteen percent is paid by any car that is claimed to be new. If a car is being transferred from a country outside EU, must get customs’ clearance either from Luxembourg or the country of its first place of entry.
