External VAT refund
You can recover significant money from VAT paid abroad! This process can be a difficult one, but with the help of CargoTrack specialists, you don’t have to do almost anything!
Optimization of external VAT recovery
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 lei.
If we go even further and imagine that in one month you filled 3,000 liters of diesel in Hungary alone (its value being 14,700 lei), you will find that you can recover neither more nor less than 3,000 lei.
