The eighth directive (79/1072/CEE) came into existence in 1982, allows Portuguese businesses and entrepreneurs recover the IVA paid on the purchase of goods or equipment and paid services in the European Union, even today other countries outside the European Union repay the non-resident companies.
The IVA is a recoverable cost which varies from country to country, as you can see in the recoverable IVA table.
Only a small portion of the IVA paid abroad by Portuguese companies is recovered, because of the complex and bureaucratic process, the higher cost of communication with the tax authorities and the tight deadlines for submission of additional information.
Every year businesses lose considerable value, because of not taking the opportunity to reduce their costs with the recovery of IVA incurred abroad.
Our aim is to facilitate the recovery of IVA paid abroad, substantially reducing the red tape for you.
We develop a strategy that suits you based on your professional expertise and experience in handling of cases.
We maintain security and absolute confidentiality in processing applications of payments and repayments.
