Euro VAT Refund, Inc. is a leading U.S. financial services firm based in Los Angeles, specializing in assisting North American companies with Value Added Tax (VAT) refunds, registration and management when they do business in Europe, including in Germany. Many North American companies are not familiar with the European VAT rules and frequently absorb unnecessary costs and run into liability issues when they conduct business in the EU, including in Germany.
Germany’s current VAT rate is 19%/7%, and it is charged on most of the invoices from vendors when a North American company/organization conducts business in Germany. In most cases, VAT can be refunded, but it is essential to seek advice already at the planning stage, since VAT registration many times is required and has to be done before any business activity takes place.
In order to learn more, feel free to schedule a call or a meeting with our VAT experts at no charge, and we are happy to discuss your refund possibilities and registration liabilities when you or your clients conduct business in Germany.
