Banaszczyk's inequality establishes a tail estimate for the discrete Gaussian measure on a lattice in $\mathbb{R}^n$. This classic result has been influential and plays an important role in lattice-based cryptography. An improvement of the inequality with a transparent proof was given by Tian, Liu and Xu. In this note, we further improve this inequality by imposing an appropriate condition, obtaining a significantly better bound. This refined inequality can be used to investigate dual attacks against the Learning With Errors (LWE) problem.
