Rules for VAT refunds vary from country to country.
	The following information gives a general overview.
	For details, please ask for our documentation pack for each specific country.
	Companies can apply for a VAT refund in another country
	- if they have no registered office in that country
	- if they have business related expenses in that country
	(exhibition costs, business trips etc.)
	- if they do not carry out any taxable transactions in that country
	(Important: a company which, following a successful participation in a trade fair
	in another country, receives orders and consequently ships goods to that country,
	retains the right for a full VAT refund!).
	VAT will be refunded for the following expenses:
	in all countries:
	- exhibition costs (stand and furniture rental, electrical installations, cleaning etc.)
	- office services (translations, photocopies etc.)
	depending on the country, sometimes very restricted:
	- hotels and restaurants
	VAT will usually not be refunded on:
	- certain private car and car rental expenses
	DEADLINE
	Refund applications have to be filed until June 30th of the following year at the latest.
	IMPORTANT
	Applications have to be accompanied by the original invoices, issued to the company
	filing for the refund (simple credit card receipts are not acceptable).
	Depending on the country, it is either mandatory or recommended to use a local
	representative for handling refund applications on behalf of foreign applicants.
