Our Services / VAT Refund Steps

Simple Steps to Proceed with VAT Refunds from the EU

Please contact Euro VAT Refund for more details before starting the VAT refund process since:

• Not all European countries refund VAT to the US.
• VAT refundable expenses vary from country to country.
• VAT registration might be required for some activities.
• Due to the time consuming task of processing the claims, a minimum fee applies
• Euro VAT Refund only works with companies and company business expenses.

1. Retrieve all the original invoices.
(Copies, statements or credit card slips will not qualify.)

Examples of refundable expenses: tradeshow expenses, hotels and car rentals, production costs and rentals, and marketing. More details can be found at: Frequently Asked Questions

Note: Some countries require that the invoices above a certain amount have to be issued to company name and corporate address in order to be accepted by the tax authorities.

2. Replace the original invoices with clearly marked copies for your files, so that you know that these originals have been sent to Euro VAT Refund.

Send all originals to:
Euro VAT Refund, Inc.
ATTN: VAT Processing
5161 Overland Avenue
Culver City, CA 90230
Phone: 310-204-0805

Include a cover letter with your company's name and address, Federal Tax Id number or corresponding tax number for Canada, and your contact information.

3. Euro VAT Refund will process the invoices, and contact the vendors (with your approval) if any corrections are required on their invoices.

4. Euro VAT Refund will prepare and send the necessary forms to you for your review and signature.

5. The claim will be submitted to local tax authorities in Europe, and Euro VAT Refund will communicate any questions that may arise.

6. Granted refund claims will be paid out by the local tax authorities in about 3-12 months and the funds will be paid to your company minus the Euro VAT Refund commission. The original invoices will be returned to you at that time.

Note: The commission rate can vary depending on the volume of invoices and the amount of VAT to be claimed. There are no upfront fees to start the refund process.
