Is your company registered for VAT in other EU countries ?

If not, has your company incurred local VAT on the following costs in other EU countries ?

road transport and vehicle fuel
exhibitions and trade fairs
conferences and training
car rental
hotels and meals
internet and telephone
marketing and advertising
some professional fees
Laptops or other capital items
other business operating expenses

Do you ever try to get such VAT refunded to you ?

Depending on local VAT regulations you can claim back the VAT thereby improving your profits and cash flow. Some countries specify a minimum amount VAT that can be reclaimed in a quarter.

If you add up your costs incurred in other EU countries you could be pleasantly surprised at the amount of local VAT that you could validly reclaim.

You cannot set off non-UK VAT against sales output VAT on your quarterly return. You have to submit the claim to the country in which the VAT was incurred.

The country VAT authority usually takes between 6 to 12 months to make the refund but you will receive it by transfer to your bank account.

We can submit a claim on your behalf to the relevant VAT office and obtain reimbursement if the claim is valid.

Our charges are a percentage of the amount reimbursed subject to a small minimum charge.

No refund, no fee.
