Last update

A new phishing attempt involving Guichet.lu is currently underway. There are currently scam emails in circulation, in which the logo of Guichet.lu and that of the Luxembourg State (red lion) appear.

Please note that the Guichet.lu information portal is not responsible for calculating your tax return and will never ask you to confirm your bank details.
