Who is a tax agent in Luxembourg?
Companies subject to VAT in their origin country, engaging in transactions that are taxable for VAT in Luxembourg, must identify themselves for Luxembourg VAT purposes at the Administration de l’Enregistrement des Domaines et de la TVA (AED).
In Luxembourg, appointing a tax agent to oversee your declaration obligations is not mandatory. However, it is recommended that all non-resident taxpayers use a tax agent to ensure that all VAT returns are filed and to guarantee continuity of all proceeding with the Luxembourg tax authorities.
- Tax agent can be appointed both for European and non-European companies.
- You can either directly communicate with the Luxembourg tax authorities or appoint a tax agent.
- There is a possibility to appoint a tax agent to ensure the filing and follow-up of your VAT obligations in Luxembourg.
The appointment of a tax agent when registering for Luxembourg VAT implies the possibility for the agent to act on your VAT returns (VAT return, Intrastat, EC Sales List, DES) but also to communicate on your behalf with the Luxembourg tax authorities.
The appointment of a tax agent in Luxembourg does not in any way exempt the taxpayer from the responsibility of the accuracy of the declarations submitted to the Luxembourg administration.
In which cases is it necessary to use a tax agent in Luxembourg?
Companies established within or outside the European Union which will have the following operations on the Luxembourg territory will have to appoint a tax agent:

How to register for VAT in Luxembourg?
In order to register for Luxembourg VAT, non-resident foreign companies must first provide proof of activity in Luxembourg, which requires identification. Before the Administration de l’Enregistrement des Domaines et de la TVA (AED) will issue a Luxembourg VAT identification number, the taxable person must provide irrefutable proof that in the near future they will carry out operations for which the VAT number is required. Without proof of activity, a foreign taxable person who does not have a permanent establishment in Luxembourg will not be able to obtain a VAT number.
The proof can be for a example in a form of a contract, an order form, a warehouse rental contract (in the case of a distribution center), an import document, a transport document, an invoice, or a proof of a merger or business acquistition.
The Luxembourg tax authorities also require the following documents:
- An extract from the trade register of the country of origin of the taxable entity
- A certificate of liability in the country of origin
- The Act of Incorporation
- Copy of the identity card of the managing director
- A Power of Attorney between Eurofiscalis Benelux and the foreign company
- A proof of activity in Luxembourg
- The bank details
The Luxembourg administration requires a certified translation into French or German of at least one of the following documents:
- Extract from the trade register
- Act of Incorporation
It takes approximately 1 to 2 months to assign a Luxembourg VAT number, provided that the submitted documentation is complete. The registration file can be submitted electronically.
VAT registration in Luxembourg is free of charge and does not involve any administrative fees.
