In the European Union local VAT and withholding tax can be reclaimed by businesses settled in other EU member states. Although this is widely known, because of several reasons still not every business takes advantage of this opportunity. During the recovery process applicants may encounter a lot of problems with the invoice failures, depending on type of document or country and – despite of the objective regulation – even the attitude and expertise of the particular administrator are influencing factors. Besides these, the actual economic state of a country can cause administrative anomalies, which may lead loss on reclaims. Unfortunately, tax authorities are considering themselves only in few countries as if they were a service provider. Let’s leave the painful details, let this part on us!

VAT’son is working in simple, money and project orientated way. First of all, as a principle step we’re trying to discover the total reclaimable value. We’re helping to solve the accidental invoice failures and accounting problems. Considering tax authorities as partners, we’re trying to make the administrators’ job quicker and easier. We’re in direct contact with these authorities everywhere, in order to minimize the worsening of information between applicants and authorities. To achieve this aim, we’re approaching most of the administrators through their mother tongues that means actually we’re speaking German, English, Spanish, Italian, French and Romanian. The most money we collect back for our partners, the most money returns to economy that is our main business target. On the other hand we’re invoicing conditional/contingent fee, so we’re fully interested in reclaims that were completely refunded. We’re also working with fixed fee commission, however payment terms are depending on the customers’ needs and we’re fully flexible.

Whether you know your company affected by VAT reclaim process or you still don’t know, but you would like to know what your possibilities in this field are, don’t hesitate – contact us and we can discuss the following steps. In case you already have a service provider, let’s talk about whether we can offer a better service - quicker, cheaper, higher rate of reclaimed sum, less work investment and work load on your staff - for you.

The request to have VAT registration out of the country of settlement is showing a higher and higher demand. The motivations can vary – even from a one-time transaction to a continuous consignment delivery service. Besides the full registration and handling projects that were built up from an idea, we’re prepared to hand over existing registrations. For today we gained experiences in fourteen European countries at VAT registration.

We represent our partners directly, except countries where there are legislative obstacles of direct representations. In case there is a must for a local intermediate, our principles are the same – to prepare an almost complete calculation and documentation to help and minimize the mediatory involvement and maximize our partners’ satisfaction.

In accordance with VAT reclaim in Directive Procedure there are great differences in rules of administration, requirements and process of handling of registrations and returns. Paper-based periodic returns and registrations still exist, moreover with strict deadlines. To assure our partners general benefit we handle all their foreign mandates and zoom on their workflow as we believe there are pieces of information that might be useful multiple relations.
