Germany streamlines VAT refund process for non-EU businesses! On March 27, 2025, Germany’s Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) announced key updates to its VAT refund procedure for non-EU companies - and the changes are effective immediately. What’s new? Digital submissions are now accepted, including: • eInvoices via the BOP portal or storage devices (e.g., USB stick) • VAT registration certificates in electronic form (must match Form USt 1 TN Model) 📌 All invoices must be submitted before the application deadline - no late submissions will be accepted. These updates aim to simplify the process, cut down on paperwork, and support a more efficient, digital-first approach for reclaiming German VAT. ✅ Great news for global businesses navigating cross-border tax compliance! #VAT #TaxCompliance #FiscalSolutions
