The Challenge Our Solution
Complex international VAT rules make it difficult to understand where VAT can be reclaimed. Our specialists identify VAT reclaim opportunities across multiple jurisdictions and structure compliant claims.
Hidden VAT on business expenses often goes unnoticed within large volumes of invoices. Our VAT reclaim services analyse expense categories to uncover recovery opportunities that would otherwise remain unclaimed.
Incomplete or inconsistent documentation can prevent claims from being submitted successfully. Our team helps validate and structure supporting documentation to maximise successful VAT recovery.
Manual internal processes make VAT reclaim time-consuming for finance teams. Our technology and experts streamline the VAT recovery process from identification to submission.
Did you know?

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

Most finance teams don’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. 

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