In nearly all European countries, companies can apply for reimbursement of VAT for the purchased goods and / or services , and they can also recover the fuel tax. But mostly, this case required a series of formalities. Through UTA VAT refund service, you save time and money!

UTA offers you a complete and transparent service for recovery of VAT in all European countries. Because there may be language barriers or electronic portals that can complicate the process of reimbursement, UTA representatives handle all necessary formalities. Upon request, our partner will complete VAT refund claim for the tax authorities in the official language of the country. This saves precious time, avoiding complex procedures and bureaucracy.

Depending on your needs, we can offer you three types of VAT refund services:

Standard VAT reimbursement - if time and money is not an issue for you, you can opt for the standard process of VAT recovery, which can last up to 12 months.
