How we work
Our sources, our method, and the expertise behind our content. You have the right to know how we make what you read.
Our mission
Luxembourg is full of opportunities, but it is also complicated: taxes, savings, housing, administrative procedures. trigger exists to make all of that clear, in plain language, without jargon.
We are not trying to impress you. We want you to understand and to make the right decisions for your situation.

Where the information comes from
We always start from the official Luxembourg sources. Concretely:
• guichet.lu and MyGuichet.lu for procedures• the Administration des contributions directes (impotsdirects.public.lu) for taxes• the CNS and the CCSS for health and social security• STATEC for the figures• Legilux for legal texts
When we quote a figure, we state the reference year. If a rule changes, the official source prevails.

How we build a guide
We start from the real questions people ask, not from what we feel like writing about. We analyse the actual search intent around a topic, identify what really gets people stuck, then structure the guide to answer clearly, in the order the questions come up.
Then we translate the complicated rules into plain language, we date the figures, and we point to the official sources so you can check for yourself.

The expertise behind our tax content
Our tax content and our simulators are not written carelessly. They are designed and validated with an expert in Luxembourg taxation: 30 years of experience in the insurance sector, a life insurance specialist, trainer, and designer of digital journeys.
It is this hands-on experience that ensures our calculations, our ceilings and our explanations hold up, and that we do not feed you approximations on a subject that directly affects your money.

AI, with a human in control
We use modern tools, including artificial intelligence, to structure and speed up our editorial work. That lets us be faster and clearer.
But reliability stays under human control. Our tax content and our simulators are validated by our expert, and our tax-related guides are reviewed regularly. AI helps us write better, it never decides what is right in our place.

We keep our content up to date
The Luxembourg rules change, especially on tax. Our guides linked to tax topics are reviewed at least once a year, and whenever a law that concerns them changes.
When a piece of content has been updated, the update date is shown at the top of the article.

Independence and transparency
trigger is free for you. We earn money because a partner can pay us when we put you in touch with them, but never without your explicit agreement, and our partners are advisers approved by the Commissariat aux Assurances (CAA).
That changes nothing about what we write: our guides are not disguised advertising. When a piece of content is sponsored, it is clearly stated.

What we don't do
We never give you personalised advice on your specific situation. We explain the rules, the possible options, and what applies in most cases.
For a decision that affects your wealth, your taxes or your future, we put you in touch with an approved adviser. It is up to them to look at your situation in detail.
