Our VAT reclaim services identify recoverable VAT on travel, supplier invoices and events, helping businesses recover VAT that would otherwise remain unclaimed

With the right VAT recovery services, recovered VAT can help fund expansion, support international operations or cover the cost of future events and projects
| The Challenge | Our Solution |
|---|---|
| Complex international VAT rules make it difficult to understand where VAT can be reclaimed. | Our specialists identify VAT reclaim opportunities across multiple jurisdictions and structure compliant claims. |
| Hidden VAT on business expenses often goes unnoticed within large volumes of invoices. | Our VAT reclaim services analyse expense categories to uncover recovery opportunities that would otherwise remain unclaimed. |
| Incomplete or inconsistent documentation can prevent claims from being submitted successfully. | Our team helps validate and structure supporting documentation to maximise successful VAT recovery. |
| Manual internal processes make VAT reclaim time-consuming for finance teams. | Our technology and experts streamline the VAT recovery process from identification to submission. |
Most businesses never claim 100% of their VAT refunds. Here’s why…
Most finance teams donโt know where VAT is refundable by country, expense type or indirect tax type.
Tax authorities reject thousands of monthly claims due to poor, non-compliant refund requests.
VAT recovery deadlines are strict and differ by region. Most businesses are unable to prepare claims in time.
Without access to original compliant invoices or invoice data, companies never even get off the starting line.
Each jurisdiction requires claim submissions and query outcomes to be communicated in its local language.ย
Although lucrative, VAT recovery isnโt a core function of a tax team. Few businesses have resources to achieve high refunds.
Different industries incur different types of expenses, which can affect where VAT reclaim opportunities arise and how claims are structured.ย Our VAT reclaim services support businesses across 26 industries, from manufacturing and technology to pharmaceuticals, events and hospitality. With decades of experience across complex global sectors, our specialists understand where VAT recovery opportunities exist and how to structure claims successfully.
