Recovering VAT on invoices with an EU VAT number

RD
16/05/2023
Question

I made a purchase through a webshop based in Austria, but the invoice is from Paddle (a British company).

VAT at 21% applies to the invoice. And the VAT number starts with EU.

Can I reclaim the vAT on this and, if yes, how?

  • Do I enter the company details of the registered office in Austria or of the invoice from England? Austria is within the EU and Paddle is outside the EU…

  • Paddle is presumably the payment platform, invoicing services, or something similar? So you made a purchase from the company in Austria. They are your supplier; that is the information you need to provide. You should have provided your vAT number and questioned an invoice without vAT, marked 'intra-Community supply'. It is possible to reclaim vAT from abroad, but I have always been told that it is a lot of hassle, so it is not recommended for small amounts.https://financien.belgium.be/en-GB/ondernemingen/vAT/internationaal/teruggave-buitenlandse-vAT/belastingplichtigen-gevestigd-in-belgie#q4
