Companies established in one of the following 24 countries

The VAT to be refunded is calculated as the difference between the VAT charged on goods (output VAT) and that deducted from expenditures (input VAT).

When the VAT eligible for deduction exceeds that collected on the sale of goods or services, the business has a VAT credit.

If the credit is not used to offset a later VAT payment, a company may, under certain conditions, claim a refund.

If your company is established in one of the following countries, the applicable regime is similar to that for companies established in the European Union:

• Australia
• Azerbaijan
• Georgia
• India
• Iceland
• Mexico
• Moldova
• Norway
• South Korea
• St. Bartholomew
• South Africa
• Aruba
• Curacao
• Ghana
• Greenland
• Faroe Islands
• Mauritius
• Japan
• New Zealand
• French Polynesia
• Saint Martin
• Sint Marteen
• Tunisia
• Ukraine
