2 April 2020

Many European Union (EU) member states have extended the deadline for non-EU companies to reclaim VAT incurred during 2019, from 30 June 2020 to 30 September 2020.

This VAT reclaim mechanism is used by non-EU companies to claim back VAT in countries where they do not have a VAT registration in place to do so.

The countries that have already announced this extension are Belgium, Greece, Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Spain.
