How far can I go back on time to recover VAT?

Foreign VAT refunds are subject to strict deadlines that usually reduce the time when you are allowed to submit a VAT claim. But you should not give up! Very often you are eligible to a VAT registration that allows for claiming VAT from historic periods as far as the statue of limitations go.

Ask Marosa for a review of your case.

In Europe, what is the difference in foreign VAT reclaim for EU and non-EU entities?

The EU makes easier for EU entities to recover VAT in other countries within the EU. Non-EU businesses must reclaim that VAT in individual claims in each country, often requiring a fiscal representative and eventually being denied such refund if reciprocity agreements are required.

What are the frequent activities where VAT deductible is missed?

These are some of the activities where businesses often incur VAT internationally and are eligible for foreign VAT refunds:

  • Meeting, conference and event costs
  • Employee accommodation and T&E
  • Supply and installation costs
  • Packaging costs
  • Tooling costs
  • Professional services fees
  • Testing and trial costs
When is VAT not fully deductible?

Expenses on certain goods and serviecs may be subject to VAT deduction limits. This is often the case when such expense has a double purpose, personnal and business. For example, meals, taxi receipts or attendance to events may not always be 100% deductible. Each country implements its own rules on such limitations. See for exampe France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

When should I recover VAT, via local VAT return or via foreign refund claims?

VAT is claimed internationally when your activity where VAT is incurred does not require a local VAT registration. This article explains the different channels in detail, indicating the solutions available for EU and non-EU entities.
