Reclaiming foreign vat on expenses

  • Written by AC Accounts
  • February 6, 2025
  • Insights

If your business has suffered VAT on expenses incurred in another EU country, for example, overseas hotel and restaurant bills, then it is possible to reclaim the foreign VAT.

The foreign VAT must not however be reclaimed on the UK VAT return but by using HMRC’s VAT online services system.

The foreign VAT refund claims can be made either quarterly or annually but there is a de-minimis amount that may be reclaimed quarterly.

The conditions for being able to reclaim the foreign VAT are that the business must:

  • be VAT registered in the UK
  • not be registered for VAT in the EU country nor have a place of business there
  • not make supplies of goods or services in that EU country, except for transport services

We can assist with your refund claims if this applies to your business. We offer a wide range of VAT services to help your business.

Our team of chartered accountants have a wealth of experience in a broad range of sectors, from construction and property to the charity sector.

If you want to learn more about how the team can help or simply want some tax advice from a trusted accountant, please contact us by filling in a contact form or calling 0161 962 1855.
