Brexit and VAT Refunds: Changes for U.K. and EU Businesses

There are many changes effective from January 1, 2021 as the U.K. is no longer an EU member state.

EU businesses cannot use the EU online value-added tax (VAT) refund system and submit so-called 8th Directive claims in their own member state to claim any U.K. VAT refunds when costs are incurred after the end of 2020.

As the U.K. is no longer a member state, U.K. businesses cannot use the EU online VAT refund system and submit online claims via the U.K. tax authority, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) website to claim back the VAT paid on costs incurred in EU member states after the end of 2020.
