Offshore Finance & Accountancy Jobs in Luxembourg
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, a small country landlocked by Belgium, France and Germany, is a prominent banking centre and tax haven. With roots stretching back to the 10th century, Luxembourg's history is closely intertwined with that of its more powerful neighbours, especially Germany. Many of its inhabitants are trilingual in French, German and Luxembourgish - a dialect of German.
Central, beautiful, prosperous and orderly, Luxembourg is a sensible choice for the global worker. It has the highest percentage of foreigners living in an EU country, giving it a very cosmopolitan atmosphere.
The capital is split into two districts: the old centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, complete with fortress towers, turrets and winding, cobblestone streets; and the modern downtown area, home to Luxembourg's renowned international finance businesses.
Proud of its role as a founding member of the EU, Luxembourg sees itself as playing a prominent position in European affairs and there are a number of European Union institutions based in Luxembourg-Ville.
Standards of living in Luxembourg are among the best in the world. Salaries are higher while prices are equivalent to those in France, Germany or Belgium. Its home ownership rate is over 65% and luxury goods, like cars, are comparatively less expensive. Fuel prices are set by the government and tend to be cheaper than in neighbouring countries.
Luxembourg's prosperity was formerly based on steel manufacturing. With the decline of that industry, Luxembourg diversified and is now best known for its status as a tax haven and banking centre. Wandering through central Luxembourg City, you’d be forgiven for thinking that every bank in the world has a Luxembourg branch. Banking is a major industry in Luxembourg and is home to over 220 different banks employing 10 per cent of the population.
