Declaration for joint reporting of income from joint business enterprises and corporate income tax return
Last update 27.02.2023
Article 168, quater, of the amended law of 4 December 1967 (loi modifiée du 4 décembre 1967) on income tax (hereinafter, the 'L.I.R') was introduced, with effect from fiscal year 2022, by the law of 20 December 2019 transposing Council Directive (EU) 2017/952 of 29 May 2017, amending Directive (EU) 2016/1164 as regards hybrid mismatches with third countries.
Article 168, quater, of the L.I.R. contains a specific rule regarding the fiscal treatment of reverse-hybrid entities that have been incorporated or established in Luxembourg, which the Luxembourg authorities consider to be fiscally transparent.
By virtue of this article, a fiscally transparent entity or arrangement that has been incorporated or established in Luxembourg is considered to be resident in Luxembourg, and its income is subject to corporate income tax to the extent that this income is not otherwise taxed under the terms of the L.I.R. or under the law of any other jurisdiction.
With regard to such income, the entity or arrangement is therefore considered to be taxable and subject to corporate income tax on such income.
Article 168, quater, of the L.I.R. does not apply to the income of such entities or arrangements incorporated or established in Luxembourg, since such income is considered to have been received locally, in the sense of article 156 L.I.R., under which non-resident taxpayers are taxed in Luxembourg.
The rule in article 168, quater, of the L.I.R., also does not apply if the income of such an entity or arrangement incorporated or established in Luxembourg is subject to taxation abroad.
The declaration for joint reporting of income from joint business enterprises, as well as the corporate income tax return, must be filed through the MyGuichet.lu platform.
