Here are the deadlines to know for a Luxembourg company with a 31 December year-end, from closing the accounts to the LBR filing.
The annual calendar
The deadlines are indicative. They depend on the company's form and articles.
| Step | Typical deadline | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Closing of the financial year | 31 December | End of the financial year. The entries are closed and the annual accounts are prepared. |
| Preparation of the annual accounts | In the following months | By the accountant, then approved for submission by the company's management. |
| Annual general meeting | By 30 June at the latest | Approval of the accounts, allocation of the result, discharge, renewal of mandates. |
| Filing of the annual accounts at the LBR | Within one month of approval, and by 31 July at the latest | Filing is done electronically, by an authorised professional. |
| Register of beneficial owners (RBE) | Within one month of any change | Update of the information on the company's beneficial owners. |
| Changes of officers, registered office or articles | Within a month, in practice | Publication at the register after the shareholders' decision, depending on the act. |
