Understanding Branch Offices In Luxembourg
​
A branch office in Luxembourg is a secondary establishment of a foreign company, operating under the parent company’s name and legal personality. It’s not a separate legal entity but an extension of the parent company in Luxembourg territory.
Key Characteristics
Management Independence: Operates with some autonomy while following parent company directives.
Financial Responsibility: Profits and debts directly attributed to the parent company.
No Separate Legal Personality: Acts under the name and on behalf of the parent company.
Taxation: Subject to Luxembourg corporate tax on profits generated in Luxembourg.
Advantages of Branch Registration
Simplified Structure: Less complex than setting up a subsidiary.
Lower Initial Costs: No minimum capital requirement.
Direct Control: The parent company maintains direct control over operations.
Market Testing: Ideal for testing the Luxembourg market before full-scale entry.
Flexibility: Easier to close or restructure compared to a subsidiary.
Tax Benefits: Access to Luxembourg’s favorable tax regime and extensive double tax treaty network.
