The September VAT deadline is fast approaching.

September deadline applies to both EU and Non-EU companies:

1. EU companies reclaiming EU VAT (under the Directive 2008/9/EC)

Example: EU companies reclaiming VAT within EU countries, excluding their home country.

2. Non-EU companies claiming from certain EU countries.

Example: US-based company, claiming expenses from Spain.

VAT must have been incurred between January 1st 2018 and December 31st 2018.

How can my company prepare?

In order to reclaim EU VAT, copies of the valid VAT invoices and receipts must be submitted to the relevant tax offices ahead of the deadline.
