## How VAT Applies to Digital Goods

The **standard VAT rate** in Luxembourg is **17%**.

Luxembourg has the **lowest standard VAT rate in the EU at 17%**, making it a notable jurisdiction for digital businesses. Many major tech companies, including Amazon and PayPal, have European headquarters in Luxembourg partly due to this favorable rate. Digital services -- including SaaS, streaming, e-books, and online courses -- are taxed at the full 17% rate for B2C sales to Luxembourg consumers.

Under EU destination rules, the rate that applies is based on the customer's location, not the seller's. So a Luxembourg-based seller charging a German customer would apply Germany's 19% rate. Non-EU sellers use the OSS scheme or register locally. Quarterly filing is standard, submitted to the ACD.

## Registration Requirements

Non-resident digital service providers must register with **ACD (Administration de l'Enregistrement, des Domaines et de la TVA)** using the **LU VAT number** format. Registration should be completed before first taxable sales to Luxembourg consumers.

## Filing and Compliance

Luxembourg requires **quarterly** VAT filing with ACD (Administration de l'Enregistrement, des Domaines et de la TVA). Maintain complete transaction records, tax calculations, and invoices for audit readiness.
