Can I reclaim VAT on business travel, hotels, and trade fairs?
Two answers, depending on where the VAT was paid.
German VAT (hotel in Berlin, taxi in Munich, stand at a Düsseldorf Messe): yes, reclaimed through your VAT return (UStVA). You enter the input VAT from these invoices with your figures, or upload your accountant's ledger, and we check it and file the return. If you want us to enter individual invoices for you, we quote that first.
Other-EU VAT (Italian hotel, French trade fair, Polish exhibition fees): not included. These are recovered through a 13th Directive refund application, a separate procedure with different deadlines and rules. We do not file these as standard compliance work, but we can quote on request.
