Did you know?

Most businesses never claim 100% of their VAT refunds. Here’s why…

Most finance teams donโ€™t 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 isnโ€™t 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.
