If you paid value added tax in another EU Member State during 2025, for example on accommodation, parking, fuel, vehicle rental, or admission fees to trade fairs or professional conferences, we would like to remind you that the deadline for submitting a VAT refund application is approaching.

The application for 2025 must be submitted no later than 30 September 2026. This is a final deadline, after which it is no longer possible to claim a VAT refund for the relevant period.

If you are applying for a VAT refund for the first time, you should also allow sufficient time to obtain access to the relevant application of the Czech Financial Administration, which may take up to 15 days. After the application has been submitted, the foreign tax authority may also request additional documents or information to verify your entitlement to the VAT refund.

We therefore recommend preparing the necessary documentation well in advance and not leaving the submission of the application until the last minute.

If this applies to you, the PKF APOGEO tax team will be happy to assist you with your VAT refund.
