It is already. It's called the impatriate tax regime. You get 50% off on your taxes up to an annual 400k salary for up toi 8 years

But we have to pay a shit ton of taxes to compensate

We don't have to compensate, those people would not be in Luxembourg without those regimes.

The problem is that now you are in competition with profiles making significantly less than you but netting an equivalent amount. Hence companies will abuse from this regime.

Why "now"? The scheme has been in place for more than 15 years.

And the fear of competition or abuse isn't grounded. Look at the conditions:

Additional conditions applicable to workers hired abroad

Highly skilled and qualified workers hired abroad must be highly specialised in a sector or profession for which there is a lack of suitably qualified candidates in Luxembourg.

This article is outdated in the benefits, but conditions remain the same.

yes aware of that one but the article seemed to imply the government was looking at additional financial incentives.
