Luxembourg VAT Overview

Luxembourg administers VAT through the Administration de l'enregistrement, des domaines et de la TVA (AED). The standard rate is 17%, with reduced rates of 14%, 8%, 3%.

For non-EU companies the registration threshold is zero — register from your first taxable transaction. EU companies benefit from the €10,000 pan-EU OSS threshold for B2C cross-border sales.
