VAT refund from abroad
Due to the conducted economic activity, entrepreneurs often make purchases abroad. They cover, for example, the costs of buying fuel, they pay, for a hotel or even electronic equipment, the gross sum according to the invoice or receipt that includes local VAT.
In such a situation, entrepreneurs can recover this tax using theVAT-REF procedure. Unfortunately, they rarely use this option because of the complicated and lengthy return procedures which can take up to 6 months. Additional explanations, documentation and information from the applicant are often needed. However, it’s worth seeking a refund of foreign VAT, because this is additional cash in the company.
