Luxembourg / EU Tax Insights

An overview by ATOZ, Taxand Luxembourg

Tax experts from our Luxembourg member firm ATOZ have recently released their annual end-of-year newsletter, summarising major tax developments in Luxembourg and across Europe over the last 12 months.

Key elements highlighted in the newsletter include:

  • Luxembourg Tax Reforms: Proposed measures aim to boost competitiveness, with draft laws under parliamentary review. A new circular issued in July clarifies the tax implications of dissolutions without liquidation, aiming to provide greater legal certainty.
  • EU Tax Activity: Despite a relatively quiet year for tax reforms, the Court of Justice of the European Union upheld core DAC6 provisions, affirming their alignment with equality, legal certainty, and privacy rights.
  • Sustainability Reporting: The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) has introduced new sustainability reporting obligations, supporting the Green Deal’s goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
