VAT Refund Requests from Another Member State Must Be Submitted by September 30

If you paid local VAT on purchased goods or services in any EU country in 2025 and used these supplies for your business activities, you can apply for a VAT refund.

Entrepreneurs frequently forget about this refund option; therefore, we would like to remind you that September 30, 2026, is the deadline for submitting an application for the refund of VAT paid in this manner during 2025. Once this date has passed, the application can no longer be filed. These most commonly involve invoices for hotels, admission fees for congresses, exhibitions, and trade fairs, fuel expenses, various other cash expenditures incurred during business trips, etc.

Any Czech VAT payer who does not have a registered office, place of business, or fixed establishment for VAT purposes in the state of refund may apply for the VAT refund. The conditions for claiming the VAT are similar to those for claiming a VAT refund in a Czech tax return. The application must be submitted electronically within the Czech Republic. It must be signed with an electronic signature, or you can authorize a tax advisor to submit the application on your behalf.

We have years of experience processing these applications and will be happy to assist you in this matter.
