WHO CAN CLAIM?

Any business person: Who is visiting the E.U. country concerned for business purposes*.

WHY VCI?

• VCI are experts on claim eligibility, application, progress monitoring and refund management.
• VCI retains a percentage of the tax recovered. No charge is levied for unsuccessful claims.
• VCI can visit your offices and manage invoice capturing*.

HOW LONG UNTIL YOU GET YOUR REFUND?

Most UK and European tax authorities require 6 months to process valid claims. As a result the entire process, including settlement to you could take up to 9 months, from receipt of documentation by VCI.

Claims less than GBP130 may be accumulated until after the end of “The Prescribed Year” at the discretion of VCI to accommodate minimum claim levels. VCI will expedite this process and issue your refund on receipt of payment from the relevant tax authority.

For certain claims, VCI can pay within 14 days*.
