Modèle 901bis — Dividend WHT Reclaim (Luxembourg)
Modèle 901bis — Dividend WHT Reclaim (Luxembourg) is the Luxembourg form for reclaiming over-withheld dividend tax above your treaty rate. It is filed via postal — the beneficiary sends all 4 sheets to their own residence-state tax authority first for Section V certification, which returns 3 sheets to be forwarded on to the Luxembourg Administration des Contributions Directes (printed 'Procédure' note on the claim form itself; no single ACD postal address is printed on the form), issued by the Administration des Contributions Directes. The deadline is 31 December of the year following the year the dividend was paid (Art. 153 LIR, a 1-year window; back/data/rates/deadlines.json LU — an applicable DTT may extend it). You will need a certificate of tax residence and your dividend vouchers.
What is Modèle 901bis — Dividend WHT Reclaim (Luxembourg)?
Modèle 901bis — Dividend WHT Reclaim (Luxembourg) is used to claim a Luxembourg withholding tax refund. Only the refund track (du remboursement d'impôt) is written; the reduction-at-source track (de la réduction) is never selected. Requires the residence-state tax authority's own certification in Section V before submission to Luxembourg — this product never fills that block. Luxembourg's existing generic report is unchanged; this is an additive reclaim route.
