US-Luxembourg tax treaty: Update on US branch structures
November 2016
Overview
On June 22, 2016, the United States announced an agreement with Luxembourg to amend the existing US-Luxembourg income tax treaty to change the so-called ‘triangular branch rule.’ On the same day, the Luxembourg government introduced Bill n° 7006, to retroactively apply the proposed new rule. On October 27, 2016, the Luxembourg State Council (Conseil d'Etat) vetoed the Bill and recommended that Parliament reject the proposed new rule’s retroactive effects.
