Paid VAT abroad?
You may be able to get it back.

For businesses established in the EU or UK. No sign-up required to see your indicative result. Specialist recovery services are subject to availability and acceptance.
Free VAT screening
How much VAT did your business pay abroad?
Estimate the VAT included in overseas invoices in minutes. No sign-up required. Whether any amount can be refunded needs a separate eligibility review.
Indicative national VAT rates: European Union and UK HMRC. Last reviewed 14 November 2026. Also checked Austrian, Estonian and Irish tax authority rates. Historical and regional rates, including the Azores and Madeira, may differ. UK and EU refund procedures are not interchangeable.
Optional next step
Could some of that VAT be recovered?

Initial focus
Business expenses abroad can mean a possible VAT refund.
Foreign VAT on trade fairs, accommodation, travel and other business costs may be eligible for recovery, depending on the country and the expense. Start by identifying the VAT paid, then decide whether a preliminary review is worthwhile.
Request a case review
Share a short business summary so we can assess whether a specialist referral might make sense.
Explore refund eligibility
If a suitable provider is available and accepts the case, that provider evaluates eligibility and handles any claim.
How it works
A simple first step towards a possible VAT refund.
The calculator identifies VAT included in your invoices, not the amount legally recoverable. If your case looks commercially suitable, we can discuss a possible introduction to an independent VAT recovery specialist. No specialist engagement is guaranteed.
