The CGFP is gearing up for the tripartite meeting 21.05.2026

Delano

The CGFP (Civil Service Union) is preparing for upcoming tripartite energy talks by outlining its demands, which include an immediate tax scale adjustment to counter inflation, a temporary tax cut, and an increased withholding tax allowance on interest income. The union also advocates for the reintroduction of the energy tax credit and compensatory measures for rising fuel prices, such as expanded work-from-home options. In response to the housing crisis exacerbated by energy costs, the CGFP proposes doubling the VAT reimbursement maximum for housing to €100,000 and removing the age limit for tax-deductible home savings contributions. Furthermore, the CGFP is staunchly opposing the privatization of public services, successfully influencing the government to limit private-law contracts within public institutions like the Luxembourg Agency for Medicines and Health Products (ALMPS) and the Luxembourg Space Agency, ensuring public-law status remains the norm.
