VAT Refund Incurred within the EU: Application Deadline Approaching
Lucie Javorová
We would like to draw your attention to the upcoming deadline for submitting applications for refunds of Value Added Tax (“VAT”) incurred in another EU Member State. The application must be submitted no later than 30 September 2026, and this deadline cannot be extended. Failure to meet the deadline will result in the loss of the right to claim a VAT refund for 2025.
If your company has purchased goods or services in another EU Member State and incurred local VAT, now is the time to begin preparing the documentation required for a VAT refund application. The application can only be submitted electronically via a form available through the tax administration portal, access to which must be obtained in advance.
Once an application has been submitted, it is quite common for the tax authority to review the legitimacy of the claimed refund. It is therefore advisable to have supporting documentation and other evidence available to substantiate the claim.
