FOREIGN VAT RECLAIM

• European VAT recovery rules diverge considerably with each state taking different approaches to the implementation of the VAT refund directive.
• Through our network associations we can handle all contact with tax authorities in their local language.

Simply send your invoices subject to VAT to the relevant tax authorities of any foreign country and we shall revert on your eligibility for a refund.
