Filing VAT in Luxembourg, returns on time, no penalties.

Filing VAT means preparing and submitting your periodic and annual returns to the Registration Duties Authority (AED) via eCDF, on time, with correct recovery of deductible VAT.

In short

A VAT return summarises the VAT charged on sales and the deductible VAT on purchases of a Luxembourg taxable person. Depending on turnover, it is monthly, quarterly or annual, and is filed electronically (eCDF) with the AED, together with an intra-Community listing where relevant.

Legal basis

VAT regime based on the amended law of 12 February 1979; standard rate of 17% (plus reduced rates). Periodicity (monthly, quarterly, annual) depending on turnover. Electronic filing via eCDF with the Registration Duties, Estates and VAT Authority (AED).

Key takeaway

  • Periodicity (monthly, quarterly, annual) depends on turnover.
  • Filing is electronic (eCDF) with the AED.
  • Meeting deadlines avoids late interest and penalties.
