Who can recover VAT from travel expenses?

What portion of VAT can I recover?

In most cases, the full VAT is recovered. There are exceptions to the rule though, contact us for more details.

How long does it take to get a VAT refund?

The claims are filed quarterly (every three months) after the end of each quarter. The process then can take up to 4 months for the tax authority to process the claim. Though some EU states process claims much faster.

Yes, the minimum amount is €50 per year from each EU country. You can take advantage of the quarterly claims if your request reaches €400 in the given quarter from each EU country.

The commission greatly depends on the volume of VAT claimed. It can be as low as 5%.

Can non-EU entities claim a VAT refund?

Yes, but it depends on the country of your establishment. Please contact us for details to verify eligibility.
