With no up-front cost to engage with VAT IT, the team of experts take care of the complex process of reclaim in each local country. Your Prestige Sales Representative can assist with this process to make the connection and help you get started in reclaiming your company’s Value Added Tax in EU/UK/Australia & Japan.
