How do you get a tax card in Luxembourg in 2026?

Start work so the employer affiliates you with the CCSS and a matricule exists. Guichet states the ACD then issues the multi-annual tax card automatically, on average within thirty working days. Cards go by post to the commune address on file; you cannot collect them at the RTS counter. Activate ACD eDelivery in your MyGuichet private eSpace if you want electronic delivery.

Since 2022, employees do not hand the original card to the employer. The ACD makes an electronic copy available for payroll. Self-employed people taxable in Luxembourg and workers not affiliated as employees may need form 164 for a first request. Temporary agency workers follow a separate flat-rate path Guichet describes, with form 162 F only above a published hourly threshold.

Use form 164 R with the RTS office for your commune of residence to request a duplicate, correct errors, move the main card between employers, or register certain deductions and credits so net pay reflects them mid-year. Examples Guichet lists include single-parent credit, flat-rate travel expenses and some special-expense premiums. Renew yearly registrations that expire each tax year.

If the card has not arrived after thirty working days, contact the competent RTS office and tell HR the file is pending. Without a card, Guichet warns withholding uses tax class 1 and cannot fall below 33 percent until correction through the card, an annual adjustment or a tax return. Keep the commune déclaration current so address changes flow correctly: Register address and Paperwork after moving.
