External VAT refund

Statistics at the level of the European Union show that over 70% of Romanian companies do not claim the amounts related to VAT spent abroad, the main reasons being the complexity of the procedure or the lack of expertise in international tax legislation.

Good to know!

With a simple calculation, if you fill up in Hungary, which has a VAT rate of 27%, 800 liters of diesel (worth 3,900 lei) you can recover approximately 829 RON.

If we go even further and imagine that in one month you filled 3,000 liters of diesel fuel in Hungary alone (its value being 14,700 RON), find out that you can recover neither more nor less than 3,000 RON.

About the VAT refund

The VAT refund process abroad is complicated, time-consuming and requires an in-depth understanding of each country’s specific procedures. Given these complex factors and the fact that it is a process that often has deadlines, it is essential to prepare the VAT refund correctly.

Also, VAT recovery in Europe is a complicated process also due to the fact that it requires communication in the official language of each state with their tax authorities.
