VAT Refund for Individuals

VAT Refund Services For Individuals

If you are a visitor to the EU, you may be able to claim back the VAT proportion on the goods and services that are purchased abroad.

Many goods and services contain an inclusion of VAT that can be refunded. The complexities for completing the return yourself can put many individuals off, however, MoreGroup can complete this for you thanks to our experts.

Who is a visitor?

If you are living in an EU country for a defined period of time for a specific purpose, but your permanent home is outside the EU and you are not intending to return to the EU in the immediate future.

What can be claimed back?

When you buy merchandise, goods and services in EU countries, what you take home is considered an export. You are then entitled to get back the VAT inclusion in the price as a refund. Not all goods and services fall within the VAT Retail Export Scheme however many do.

Here is a list of categories of goods and services which VAT can be refunded:

• Employee travel and accommodation
• Service charge from suppliers
• Co-location costs
• Import VAT from goods imported across borders
• Clinical trains
• Local purchase of goods

The VAT on many goods and services in the EU range from 15-25% on the price of the purchase which is a significant amount spent on refundable tax.
