Transaction metadata, invoice images, and receipt data transfer automatically from Ramp to VAT IT via a secure API connection. No manual downloads. No data entry from your team.
Our specialists review every eligible transaction, assess VAT claimability in real time, and compile claims across all relevant jurisdictions, foreign and domestic.
Refunds are submitted to the relevant tax authorities on your behalf. VAT IT will process your data within 1 to 2 business days of connection and notify you when your reclaim potential assessment is ready. A fee only applies when we successfully recover.
VAT IT recovers both foreign VAT (tax paid on business expenses incurred abroad) and domestic VAT (tax paid on expenses within your own country). This includes travel and entertainment, hotels, restaurants, fuel, and transport.
Yes. Retroactive reclaim is available in most jurisdictions, in some cases going back up to four years. The exact timeframe depends on the country, and your VAT IT account manager will confirm what's recoverable for each market you operate in.
No. There are no setup fees or integration costs. VAT IT only charges a fee when VAT is successfully recovered on your behalf.
If you already have access to both Ramp and VAT IT Cloud, the setup takes approximately 3 minutes and four clicks. Your VAT IT account manager can walk you through it or send you a direct connection link if needed.
Yes. You'll have a named account manager from day one, someone who knows your markets and can answer questions directly, without routing you through a support queue.
Once VAT is recovered, the result is a direct cash inflow to your business. For foreign VAT, refunds are paid directly by the relevant tax authority. For domestic VAT, recovered amounts are returned via a structured schedule, reducing your overall tax liability. Either way, money that was previously tied up in the tax system comes back to you.
The Ramp integration focuses on VAT reclaim, but VAT IT also supports businesses across the full spectrum of indirect tax, including VAT compliance and registrations, US Sales Tax, and e-Invoicing. For businesses that need a single, coordinated partner across all areas of indirect tax, VAT IT provides that in one place.
This webinar explains how US businesses can identify and recover foreign VAT, breaking down key concepts like reciprocity and showing where refund opportunities are often missed.
