Whether you are a long-time resident or a newcomer in Luxembourg, the tax return to declare your previous year’s income to the tax authorities must be realised by March 31st at the latest.
To facilitate you the task, it is from now on possible to fill your tax return online. Here is how to proceed.
PAPER OR ONLINE TAX RETURN
Generally, in the course of February, every Luxembourg taxpayer receives a taxes declaration form by mail to his domicile or an electronic invitation to declare his/her income to the Administration of direct taxes.
To declare your taxes in Luxembourg, you have two possibilities:
- Filling your completed and signed statement, then giving it back to the employee of the competent office of imposition,
- Completing the taxes declaration forms online and sending them to the ACD via MyGuichet.
Know that even if you receive a paper form by mail, you can still complete it online and send it to the ACD via MyGuichet. It is very handy!
