VAT refund me

This is where VATrefundme.com can help.

VATrefundme.com is a service establishment dedicated to the recovery of VAT throughout Europe and beyond for our clients throughout the world. We are a highly specialised niche organisation staffed by multi-talented VAT technicians, who have made it their business to understand yours.

It’s Your Money!

If your business extends beyond the frontiers of your own country you will inevitably incur Value Added Taxes in their various forms on the goods and services you buy abroad. Although you cannot claim this from your home tax authority, the tax may be recoverable by direct claim to the country concerned.

What can you claim?

We are able to obtain refunds of VAT from all European Union countries in circumstances where:-

The claimant has no business establishment in the country concerned;
The claimant is in business (and if an EU resident is registered for VAT), and has incurred the relevant expense during the normal course of business;
The original invoice, showing the VAT paid, is sent to us;
The expense qualifies for refund - see the Reclaim Matrix
The claim is in time. The time limits for claiming vary according to individual circumstances and will be supplied on request.

How do we charge?

We charge a fee based purely on results. It will be a percentage of the actual refund computed according to the following criteria:-

Country of claim;
Size of claim;
Degree of input from VATrefundmd in obtaining the required documentation;
Complexity.

The fee rate will be agreed prior to our engagement. Please note our minimum fee is €150.00 per claim

What documentation do you need to claim a VAT refund?

You need an original tax invoice reflecting the seller's name, address VAT registration number, invoice number a complete description of the item/s purchased, the cost of the item/s in Rand with the VAT reflected separately or the cost including VAT with a statement that the price includes VAT.

NOTE: Carbon copies, photostat copies or facsimiles of the original tax invoices are not acceptable. You must insist on the correct documentation when purchasing an item.
