We have already enjoyed early spring days, so it’s time for our first 2026 ATOZ Insights.
On 6 January 2026, the Luxembourg tax authorities launched online procedures via MyGuichet.lu for Pillar Two compliance. We outline the key obligations for Luxembourg constituent entities, including mandatory registration, GloBE Information Return filings and Top‑up Tax Return procedures.
We also analyse the permanent establishment risks arising from cross‑border remote work for Luxembourg businesses, focusing initially on the OECD’s 2025 Commentaries regarding the assessment of a fixed place of business and subsequently on the dependent agent rules.
We then delve into the evolving concept of beneficial ownership, analysing its key role in accessing treaty and EU directive benefits, as well as recent case law trends emphasising substance, control and economic reality.
