Luxembourg VAT and ESL

You can export the Luxembourg VAT and ESL returns to your local computer in .xml format, then manually upload it to the tax authority’s portal.
Complete the following steps to generate VAT & ESL returns in the format to be submitted to the tax authorities:
  1. From the main menu, select
    Returns > Return
    .
  2. In the grid, select the hyperlinked name of the return you want to export.
  3. The Company information sheet opens. Complete the
    Company Information
     and
    Agent Information
     sections. The following fields are required:
    • National ID number: The national ID number of the declarer and the agent company, which always exists.
    • RCS number:
      The Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés number (RCS No.) of the declarer and the agent company transferring the file. Most companies have this number, which must be included. The number consists of one uppercase letter and 2 – 6 figures. The first figure cannot be a 0.
    • eCDF prefix:
       The prefix of the declarer and the agent (company using the XML interface) which consists of the first 6 numbers/characters in the name of a PDF file already created in eCDF by the user company. For example, for the file 123456P20120401T13112201.pdf the user company’s prefix is 123456.
      note
      If there is no agent submitting the return on behalf of the taxpayer, boxes in the
      Agent Information
       section should contain same values as the declarer boxes.
  4. Complete the
    E-Filing Information
     section. The following fields are required:
    • Periodic Return: By default, fields are checked shown in the example if there are ESL-relevant transactions. However, you can manually clear the boxes for the forms you do not want to export to the same XML file.
    • Annual Return: Check the
      Annual VAT
      checkbox.
  5. On the toolbar ribbon, select the
    eFile
     option.
  6. On tab
    1 | Filings
    , select the appropriate returns, then select the
    Next
     button.
    note
    The options shown are based on the selection you made in the previous step.
  7. On tab
    2 | Actions
    , select
    Export
    , then select the
    Next
    button.
  8. When the return has been sent to ONESOURCE E-Filing Manager successfully, the Status window opens and displays a confirmation message. Select
    Refresh Status
     to check the status. If the return has passed the validation, the e-filing status will be Passed Validation.

ECDF Account Access

For first eCDF account creations, the forms are available on www.ecdf.lu in the menu “eCDF access / First Access”.
Existing eCDF users who want to add XML transfer possibilities to their account should log into eCDF and use the already partially prefilled form in menu “eCDF access / Access modification”.
These request forms are indeed only available after logging in using an electronic certificate. There are no PDF versions available.
