VAT number

A VAT number is a unique identifier assigned to businesses for VAT reporting and compliance purposes.

In Luxembourg, obtaining a VAT number is a key step during company incorporation if the business expects to exceed the revenue threshold requiring VAT registration. This number is used to file VAT returns and cross-border transactions and verify the legitimacy of business partners through the VIES system. Proper VAT number management ensures compliance with both local and EU tax regulations.
