Did you know?

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

Lack of knowledge

Most finance teams don’t know where VAT is refundable by country, expense type or indirect tax type.

Rejected claims

Tax authorities reject thousands of monthly claims due to poor, non-compliant refund requests.

Missed deadlines

VAT recovery deadlines are strict and differ by region. Most businesses are unable to prepare claims in time.

Incorrect invoices

Without access to original compliant invoices or invoice data, companies never even get off the starting line.

Language barrier

Each jurisdiction requires claim submissions and query outcomes to be communicated in its local language.

Burdened resources

Although lucrative, VAT recovery isn’t a core function of a tax team. Few businesses have resources to achieve high refunds.
