Luxembourg introduced the mechanism of securitisation by a law dated 22 March 2004 (the “Law of 2004”). One of the governing principles of the Law of 2004 is the “freedom of contract” principle, allowing the parties to define their respective rights and obligations.

Furthermore, the Law of 2004 lays down the legal framework securing the investors and the creditors of the securitisation undertaking, insofar as a securitization undertaking can be constituted of several compartments each corresponding to a distinct part of its assets and liabilities. A securitisation transaction in Luxembourg benefits from highly favourable tax provisions and is, in most cases, even neutral from a tax perspective.
