# Do I need to have my PACS recognised in Luxembourg to file a joint tax return?

In Luxembourg, the recognition of PACS (civil partnership) is not mandatory from a tax perspective for filing a joint declaration.
 
However, it can provide social benefits such as additional leave and a survivor's pension.
 
Recognition depends more on the desired social benefits than direct tax obligation.
