Who may benefit from foreign VAT screening?

Businesses established in one country that incur eligible business expenses in another country may have a route to recover some foreign VAT. The applicable procedure depends on the claimant’s establishment, destination country, invoice type and local rules.

What expenses should we review?

Common starting points include international trade fairs, hotels, event services, vehicle-related costs and other business travel expenses. These categories are not automatically refundable; some countries restrict deductions or refunds for specific costs.

Does the calculator show my refund?

No. The calculator estimates VAT mathematically included in a gross expense using a selected VAT rate. It does not determine whether an invoice is valid, whether a claimant is eligible or how much will actually be refunded.

What information is needed for a preliminary review?

Normally: country of business establishment, country where costs arose, approximate invoice dates and categories, and whether invoices identify the business. Do not submit invoices or sensitive financial documents until a secure collection process is agreed.

Is a refund guaranteed?

No. Any potential recovery is subject to applicable law, local deadlines, invoice evidence, specialist assessment and acceptance. Reclaimor is a preliminary screening and referral service operated by Remarkable Story, Lda.
