What is Foreign VAT Reclaim?

International VAT refunds are available from overseas tax authorities on Travel & Entertainment (T&E) expenses incurred by employees on foreign business travel. Eligible expenses include accommodation, meals, taxis, car hire, public transport and conference costs.

Refunds can also be claimed on Accounts Payable (AP) invoices including tooling, premises rental, professional services, supply and installations.

The challenge of international VAT refunds

  • Each country has its own specific deadlines and rules, with different administrative practices for filing.
  • Operating in worldwide markets requires expertise in legislation, foreign language support and relationships with the local tax offices.
  • Companies often underclaim due to a lack of knowledge or resources to submit complete claims.
  • Foreign VAT reclaim is subject to time limitations. Missing the VAT reclaim window could mean you lose your refund.
