The deadline for submitting applications for VAT refunds from abroad for 2024 is approaching.

We would like to remind you that the deadline for submitting applications for VAT refunds paid in EU member states in 2024 is approaching. Applications must be submitted by September 30, 2025, at the latest. This deadline is final, and after it expires, the right to a refund will expire.

The application can be submitted if the company paid VAT abroad during the year (e.g., for accommodation, fuel, etc.). For first-time applicants, it is necessary to activate access to the Financial Administration application, which can take up to 15 days.

After submitting the application, the tax administration may verify the eligibility of the VAT refund claim, which often requires the submission of additional relevant documents or information.

Due to the administrative complexity, we recommend that you do not leave the application to the last minute and prepare all the necessary documents well in advance.

If you need help with VAT refunds, please contact the PKF APOGEO tax team.
