Imposte

The following taxes are available by default with the Luxembourgish localization package:

  • standard VAT (17%): applied to most goods and services within Luxembourg

  • reduced VAT (14%, 8%, and 3%): applied to some goods and services within Luxembourg

  • zero-rated VAT: applied to goods and services not subject to VAT

  • intra-community VAT: applied to goods and services sold to or purchased from VAT-registered persons located in other EU countries

  • export tax (0%): zero-rated tax applied to goods and services exported outside Luxembourg

Fatturazione elettronica

Odoo users in Luxembourg can register on the Peppol network, which allows exchanging e-invoices and credit notes with other participants on the network.

The e-invoice format in Luxembourg is BIS Billing 3.0.

Importante

E-invoicing via Peppol is mandatory for all B2G transactions in Luxembourg.

Tax reporting

In Luxembourg, companies must submit a VAT declaration on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis to the tax office, depending on their turnover. Companies that submit a monthly or quarterly declaration are also required to submit the annual declaration.

Both monthly/quarterly and annual VAT declarations can be exported as XML files to upload on the eCDF platform.

Monthly / quarterly declaration

Go to Accounting ‣ Reporting ‣ Tax Report.

In the Report selector, select Tax Report (LU).

In the (Period) selector, choose the month or quarter for which to generate the declaration.

Check the amounts generated for all four sections of the report.

If you sold to customers under a VAT exemption for SMEs during the period, you need to manually enter the value of such sales in the editable fields at section I, items 481 and 482. To find the amounts for these items, you can use the Partner Ledger report:

  • Go to Accounting ‣ Reporting ‣ Partner Ledger.

  • In the (Period) selector, choose the appropriate month or quarter.

  • In the (Account) selector, choose Receivable.

  • In the (Partners) selector, choose the partners that fall under the exemption.

  • Copy the total Balance for those partners for the given period.

Once the declaration is correct, click the (action menu) icon, then click XML to export and download it in XML format. You can then submit the XML file on the eCDF platform.

Opening the declaration

Go to Accounting ‣ Reporting ‣ Tax Report.

In the Report selector, select Annual VAT Declaration (LU).

In the (Period) selector, choose the fiscal year dates for which to generate the declaration.

Completing the declaration

The annual declaration contains five sections labelled I to V, seven appendices labelled A to G, and an additional Appendix to Operational Expenditures.

Sections I, III, and Appendix A can be pre-populated automatically based on the account tag configuration. After configuring the account tags, set the tax lock date to the end of the fiscal year. This will trigger the pre-computation of those values.

Odoo Accounting populates a Luxembourgish annual VAT declaration based on account tags.

Alternatively, the year’s total VAT debit and credit can be manually distributed among the various report lines in sections I and III. You can use the (Edit) icon to manually enter the value for each report line.

Sections II and IV are automatically computed.

You then need to manually complete appendices B through G, as well as the Appendix to Operational Expenditures, with any additional information to be reported.

Exporting the declaration

Once the declaration is complete and correct, click the (action menu) icon, then click XML to export and download it in XML format. You can then submit the XML file on the eCDF platform.

FAIA audit file export

FAIA is the Luxembourgish version of the SAF-T format for accounting data interchange. It allows exporting complete accounting data for a period from a taxpayer’s accounting system to the tax office.

Odoo can generate an XML file in the FAIA format that contains the entire accounting data for a period.

To generate and download the FAIA file, open Accounting ‣ Reporting ‣ General Ledger, choose the desired period, click the (action menu) icon, and click Export FAIA.
