Introduction

The Luxembourg Tax Authority (Administration des contributions directes (ACD)) published on 6 February 2017 the ECHA - n° 4 Circular. This Circular describes the format and procedures of the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) that Luxembourg Reporting Financial Institutions (RFI) will have to follow according to the CRS Luxembourg law, 24 December 2015.


Manual filing

Please be informed that we are working on a new e-file version that will be delivered throughout 2020.

This modernized e-file version will introduce a new design and improved ergonomics for a better user experience.

This new version of e-file will be deployed module per module, supported by a dedicated communication plan to ensure a proper transition to the impacted users.

In the old e-file version, the Contact tab contained information on Depositor, Declarer, Reporting person



AFTER

CRS-After-SplitContactTab.png

In the new e-file version the Contact tab has been splitted into 3 sections:

1. Information on depositor

2. Reporting person

3. Information on declarer

These three sections can be accessed via the buttons in the vertical navigation bar or via the navigation buttons NEXT STEP AfterFATCANextStep.png and PAGE UP AfterFatcaGoToTopOfPage.png inside each page.



AEOI reference

BEFORE

CRS AEOI REF.jpg

In the old e-file version, the AEOI reference field was available in the Contact tab.



AFTER

CRS-After AEOI.png

In the new e-file version, you can find the AEOI reference field in the first section of the CRS form under Information on depositor.

-This field has to be completed with a unique identifier.

-The ACD recommends to use a "timestamp", a digital counter or a "GUID" (Globally Unique Identifier).

-Specification examples: only capital characters (A-Z), number 0-9, must be unique, etc.

-The ACD asks not to include confidential data in the identifying elements.

Cf. ECHA - n° 4 of 6 February 2017, page 21-22.



Information on depositor

BEFORE

CRS Dep matricule.jpg

In the old e-file version the Information on depositor had to be completed in the Contact tab.



AFTER

CRS-After InformationDepositor.png

In the new e-file version the Information depositor has to be completed in the first section of the form.

Depositor name (pre-filled)
The Depositor is an entity (legal or natural person) that is in charge of filing the CRS reporting to the ACD (e.g. Service provider). The depositor and the declarer may be the same entity.
Cf. ECHA - n° 4 of 6 February 2017, page 10.


Personal Identification Number (pre-filled)
The Depositor needs a Personal Identification Number (Luxembourgish Matricule Number also known as CCSS code) to be able to file the report.

If the Depositor does not have a Luxembourgish Matricule Number, he has to contact the Bureau de la retenue d'impôt sur les intérêts to obtain one (Form 914F).

-by mail: aeoi@co.etat.lu

-by phone: Phone book_Bureau de la retenue d'impôt sur les intérêts


IMPORTANT: all pre-filled data have to be communicated to Fundsquare in order to be integrated in Fundsquare's database and to be available in the CRS form
=> Consult our  CRS Onboarding process for more detailed information.



Information on declarer

The declarer may be the RFI or an entity, e.g. a management company, managing the reporting from a business point of view.

CRS Declarer Z.jpg

Declarer name
The ACD needs contact details of a person who would be able to answer business questions regarding the report.
Cf. ECHA - n° 4 of 6 February 2017, page 10


Declarer identification number
Social Security Identification Number (Matricule, code CCSS) of the declarer.




Reporting person

The Reporting Person is the Reporting Financial Institution (RFI) that is subject to the CRS Reporting.

CRS RFI.jpg

Name of the Reporting Financial Institution
Select the entity in the drop-down list for which the reporting has to be done.


Name
Name of the RFI (pre-filled once the RFI has been selected)


Entity Identification number
The Identification number is the Luxembourgish Matricule number of the RFI (pre-filled once the RFI has been selected)


Entity Identification number extension
The extension of the Luxembourgish Matricule number (pre-filled once the RFI has been selected). Example of an UCI that reports on UCI level: M00000000 (The Reporting FI Identifier will be 12345678912M00000000)

If a sub-entity wants to submit a CRS reporting to the ACD and does not have a personnel number, it puts the parent entity's number in the Entity Identification number field and an additional identifier in the Entity Identification number extension field. Example: a sub-fund that wants to report directly, can enter the umbrella number (= tax identification number available on the subscription-tax returns) in the Entity Identification number field and the sub-fund number (CSSF code of the sub-fund) in the Entity Identification number extension field. Exemple: F00000002 (The Reporting FI Identifier will be 12345678912F00000002)

IMPORTANT: instructions published on the ACD website should be followed in the event that the Luxembourg Financial Institution has no Luxembourgish matricule.


Reporting FI Identifier
It is the concatenation of the Identification Number and Identification Number Extension (pre-filled once the RFI has been selected).


IMPORTANT: all pre-filled data have to be communicated to Fundsquare in order to be integrated in Fundsquare's database and to be available in the CRS form
=> Consult our  CRS Onboarding process for more detailed information.

New Data Message.PNG

Correction message
A correction message is a message that corrects or cancels data already known by the ACD. It is characterized by the value "CRS702" and the value "OECD2" or "OECD3".


Correction Message.PNG

Zero Reporting

A "ZeroReporting" message is a message stating that the Luxembourg Reporting Financial Institution has no data to report for the relevant tax year.

Unlike FATCA, the ACD has decided that filing a "zero reporting" is not mandatory.

Cf. ECHA - n° 4 of 6 February 2017, page 17


Step 1: Select Zero Report

CRS zero report.jpg


Step 2: Complete the Contact tab

CRS 01.jpg

Cf. Chapter 2.4.1 Contact tab


Step 3: Complete the Header tab

CRS 02.jpg

The declaration type CRS703: The message advises thers is no data to report is selected by default.



Step 4: Complete the Reporting tab

CRS 03.jpg

Important:

-The RFI should not declare any Account Report in a Zero Report.

-The Zero Reporting has to be filed to the ACD. It will not be communicated to a particular JSD ("Juridiction soumise à déclaration").

-The Zero Reporting will be rejected if the Luxembourg Financial Institution has already transmitted data via a new data message but this data has not been canceled via a correction message. All declared data must be canceled before sending a Zero Reporting. Otherwise, the error "80009" is returned.

Cf. ECHA - n° 4 of 6 February 2017, page 17

Export - import files - save work in progress

Export.jpg

1. Click this button to export the final report in XML format. The file will be saved on your hard drive and is available for sending to the Regulator. This button will only be available if the green tick GreenIcon.png appears in every section of the completed form.

2. This button allows you to upload an existing XML report from your network or hard drive into the report generator.

3. Work in progress on a report has to be saved with this button. The exported .xml file will be called DRAFT_filename.xml and cannot be uploaded for filing. It can be imported onto the tool for later use. Only final reports will carry the correct naming convention for submission to the Regulator.

4.If green ticks GreenIcon.png appear in every section of the completed form, the Transmission button will become available.




File transmission

Setup of the Transmission Module e-file v2

Step 1. Complete the form GreenIcon.png. 

Result: all ticks become green

CRS transmission.jpg



Step 2: Click the Transmission.png button.

Result: the EfileCrypto.jnlp file is generated.

IMPORTANT: this file has to be downloaded (if you use the application for the first time) locally on your computer and must be opened to launch the Transmission Module.

Note: the Transmission Module is a Java application. For security reasons, this module aims at encrypting documents before they are sent to authorithies. It is also used to decrypt documents and feedbacks.

See prerequisites for the installation of the Transmission Module e-file v2.



Step 3. Click the Open button of the EfileCrypto.jnlp file Jplg.jpg

Result: the window below opens

JavaEfileWindow.png



Step 4. Click the RunButton.png button

JavaEfileWindow.png Result: the Transmission Module is launched

2tmm.png

Important: It is possible that the pop-up blocker does not allow .jnlp files to be downloaded. Please ask your IT deparment to allow pop-ups from https://www.e-file.lu/ .




Step 5: The Transmission Module has to be configured when it is used for the first time (or after each Java update).

The path to the keystore has to be selected with the BrowseButton.png button and the key (locally or on a server) will have to be imported with the ImportButton.png button :

2tmm.png

Once the key has been imported, the access to the keystore is memorized by the application.

In order to be more user friendly and to speed up the sending process, the Transmission Module will then run as a back ground process on your desktop.

If you need to end the process, right click on the icon in the taskbar and select “Close Transmission Module” :

2Tmet.png


Step 6. Return to the CRS Form (Report Generator) screen 
- Click the Transmission.png button
- Enter a "title of file sent" 
- Enter the keystore password


Result: as the configuration of the Transmission Module is finished, the General Tab of the Transmission Module will be displayed directly.

Note:

-the file name is automatically generated and compliant to the ACD file naming convention.

-the SendButton.png button is now available and the report can be sent. A pop-up window will confirm the transmission.

Transmission follow up

PLEASE CONSULT OUR WIKIPAGE TRANSMISSION FOLLOW-UP


Automatic filing through the Sending Service

The Sending Service is Fundsquare's solution for automatically sending reports and documents to the authorities.

With a suitable network mapping, users can then simply copy the file to be sent in the appropriate directory.

The file is then automatically encrypted and sent.

CRS.xml files have to be dropped into the CRS subfolder:

ERR = File rejected



Report transmission

File processing status generated by the Sending Service

During and at the end of the sending, the Sending Service generates various files in the subfolder that has been used for the sending. Three type of files are generated:

  • .trt file : indicates the start of the transmission

In order to be able to send the original file, the Sending Service transforms the latter into a .trt file and adds a timestamp. E.g. «OriginalName.xml» is transformed into OriginalName.xml.timestamp.trt:

.xml becomes

.trt

  • .acq file : the transmission has been successfully completed
  • .err file : indicates that an error has occurred during the sending

The error file contains technical messages indicating the root cause of the error, e.g. file name errors.
