FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions About Vat Compliance
VAT recovery is the process of reclaiming the Value Added Tax (VAT) that has been paid on business expenses incurred in foreign countries. This is done to reduce the cost of doing business abroad.
In most cases, businesses can reclaim VAT on expenses related to the purchase of goods and services used for business purposes. This can include items such as office supplies, equipment, and travel expenses. However, there may be restrictions on what expenses can be claimed for VAT, so it’s important to check with your local tax authority for specific guidelines.
To reclaim VAT, you must submit a VAT refund claim to the foreign tax authority where the expense was incurred. This claim must include all necessary documentation, such as receipts and invoices, to support the claim.
The two main types of VAT are standard rate and reduced rate. Standard rate VAT is the default rate applied to most goods and services, while reduced rate VAT is applied to certain goods and services that are considered to be of essential or social value.
Generally, VAT can only be reclaimed on invoices that are less than six months old. However, some countries may have different rules regarding the age of invoices that can be claimed.
Certain businesses and individuals may be exempt from paying VAT, such as charities, small businesses, and individuals who are not engaged in business activities.
