If you are on Luxembourg payroll, you will receive a tax card. Once your tax card has been

received, your rate will be adjusted and you will be reimbursed for on income that was

overtaxed, if applicable.

Your tax card will be issued and mailed to you by the relevant tax administration after

your employer has completed your CCSS registration and you’ve declared your

arrival at the commune

Your DSC will help you complete the 164-R form and submit it to the tax

administration on your behalf



It can take up-to 6 months to receive your tax card

Tax card will be sent every year and must be submitted to your employer. If you have

not received your card by March, you will need to notify the tax administration,

Every year, you must prove your marital status to obtain a new tax card for the

current year. You will receive a letter in January asking you to send in documentary

evidence of your status

Driving License Registration and Exchange

For driving licenses issued by an EEE member state (E.U + Norway, Island, Liechtenstein),

there are two options available: registration

exchange of an EEE license. Although

registration is generally not required for EU issued licenses, it will minimize administrative

formalities in case your license is stolen or lost. It may make sense to exchange it for a

Luxembourgish license if your EU license is due to expire within the one year of your move.
