Start a business in Luxembourg
Luxembourg offers a strategic central-European location, political and economic stability, and a highly favourable business environment. The popular private limited company (Société à Responsabilité Limitée – S.à r.l.) requires a minimum share capital of €12,000, while the public limited company (Société Anonyme – S.A.) requires €30,000. Non-residents can incorporate, and foreign ownership is permitted. The process involves selecting a unique company name, drafting and notarising the articles of association, depositing the capital, registering with the trade and companies register, and securing a local registered office. Luxembourg also boasts a favourable tax regime and extensive double-taxation treaty network, making it an attractive hub for international business.
Luxembourg Incorporation
Ongoing Obligations
All Luxembourg companies must maintain proper accounting records, prepare annual financial statements, and file them with the Luxembourg Business Register (LBR). Corporate tax returns must be submitted annually, and VAT returns are usually filed quarterly. Companies meeting certain size thresholds must undergo a statutory audit. A UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) register must be maintained and updated, and all entities must comply with AML, tax, and transparency regulations under EU law.
Business Structure Requirements
The most common business entity is the S.à r.l. (Société à Responsabilité Limitée / Private Limited Liability Company). It requires at least one shareholder and one manager (who may be a non-resident). A registered office address in Luxembourg is mandatory, and 100% foreign ownership is allowed. Alternative structures, such as the S.A. (Public Limited Company) or Soparfi (Holding Company), are used for larger or investment-oriented operations.
Capital Setup
An S.à r.l. requires a minimum share capital of €12,000, which must be fully subscribed and paid before registration. Contributions can be made in cash or in kind, subject to valuation. A simplified version, the S.à r.l.-S (Simplified Private Limited Company), can be incorporated with capital as low as €1, provided at least one individual founder is involved. Shareholder liability is limited to their contribution.
Taxes
Luxembourg’s corporate income tax (CIT) rate is 17%, plus a municipal business tax (around 6.75% in Luxembourg City) and a solidarity surtax of 7% on CIT, resulting in an effective rate of about 24.9%. The country offers a participation exemption regime on qualifying dividends and capital gains, R&D and IP tax incentives, and has over 80 double-tax treaties. VAT registration is required if annual taxable turnover exceeds €35,000.
