The questions we are actually asked, companies and individuals.

Residence is not required to be a shareholder. Depending on the activity, a business permit and a director with genuine substance in Luxembourg may however be necessary. Company formation →

Not necessarily. Most of it is handled remotely: KYC, documents, power of attorney. The notarial signature can be arranged by proxy depending on the structure. Company formation →

That is realistic for a simple structure once KYC is complete. The limiting factor is rarely registration, it is the bank file and the business permit. Actual timelines →

SARL with EUR 12,000 capital, SARL-S from EUR 1 for individuals, SA at EUR 30,000. The choice depends on capital, shareholding and intended positioning. Company forms →

Both routes exist, with different substance, VAT and accounting implications. We choose according to your objective. Establishment options →

Registration according to thresholds and activity. We handle the application, configuration and returns. VAT registration →

In principle yes: a manager carrying out an activity falls under social security, with a status varying by shareholding and remuneration. Payroll and CCSS →

Yes: payslips, CCSS affiliations, withholding tax, indexation. For employees, self-employed people and managers. Payroll outsourcing →

It is the company's economic reality in Luxembourg. It can contribute to establishing tax residence, without on its own determining it. ATAD substance →

Yes, within the permitted framework, with board meetings genuinely held locally and a documented substance file. Directorship →

Dissolution, appointment of a liquidator, settlement of liabilities, tax clearance, striking-off at the RCS. We run the whole process. Liquidation →

Yes, for residents and cross-border workers alike: tax classes, deductible expenses, foreign income, deadlines. Personal return →

Tax classes, income from both countries, double-taxation treaties. We optimise within the legal framework. Cross-border workers →

Professional expenses, loan interest, certain insurance premiums and contributions, depending on your situation. Deductible expenses →

Under the applicable treaties, with exemption or tax credit. We integrate it correctly into your return. Foreign income →

Business permit where required, social affiliation, VAT and accounting. We frame each step. Business permit →

It depends on the exemption threshold and your activity. We determine your regime. Self-employed VAT →

Yes. We work with clients from Europe, China, the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, in nine languages. International clients →

Company formation, bookkeeping and annual accounts, tax and VAT, payroll/CCSS, consolidation, directorship and substance, compliance (AML/KYC, DAC6, CRS/FATCA), holding and fund structuring, and outsourced CFO, with a single point of contact.

Usually 2 to 3 weeks, at most one month, once the file is complete (KYC, capital deposit, notarial deed, RCS and RBE registration). A SARL-S can be faster.

Accounts must be approved by the general meeting within 6 months of the financial year-end, then filed with the RCS within one month of approval, i.e. within 7 months of the closing date. Late filing triggers penalties.

It becomes mandatory when the company exceeds, over two consecutive years, two of these three thresholds: balance-sheet total EUR 7.5m, net turnover EUR 15m, 50 employees on average. Below that, a commissaire may suffice depending on the legal form.

Indicatively, expect EUR 70-150/h for standard accounting and EUR 150-300/h for specialised advisory, whether the provider is a licensed accountant (comptable autorisé) or a chartered accountant (expert-comptable). The distinction is worth understanding: the chartered accountant is a member of the Ordre des Experts-Comptables (OEC); the licensed accountant operates under a business permit from the Ministry of the Economy. Both keep your books, prepare your annual accounts and file them with the RCS. Financial Services Luxembourg acts as a licensed accountant (authorisation 10077274), and favours a fixed monthly fee over hourly billing: you know what you pay, and asking a question does not trigger an invoice.

The company must have a registered office in Luxembourg. We provide a compliant domiciliation address and, where needed, substance (governance, local director).

Mainly French and English. The firm serves an international client base (entrepreneurs, holdings, investors, funds, family offices).
