What is a VAT return in Luxembourg?
The Luxembourg VAT return is a tax return intended to inform the Luxembourg VAT administration of your taxable activities on Luxembourg territory.
It is compulsory for any holder of an active Luxembourg intra-Community VAT number and can be filed on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis, depending on the declaration rhythm chosen when registering for VAT in Luxembourg.
In Luxembourg, the reporting rhythm is set as follows:
