EU DIRECTIVE 2008/9/EC & 13TH DIRECTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE

From invoice to refund, without the manual review.

Connect your accounts, let us handle the paperwork, and get your refund paid directly to your bank — fast and hassle free.

Step 01 — Connect

Link your expense, AP, or ERP system — or just upload documents

The platform reads every invoice and receipt automatically, extracting supplier details, amounts, dates, and jurisdiction, and sorts each one into eligible, partially eligible, or not recoverable.

Step 02 — We file, and show our work

Every claim comes with a reason attached

Instead of a flat approve/reject, each expense carries an audit trail showing exactly why it qualifies — or doesn’t. Supplier VAT numbers are checked against the EU’s VIES database before anything is submitted, so claims don’t come back rejected on a technicality.

STEP 03 — YOU GET PAID

Refunds land in your account — and you can see exactly where every claim sits.

Each claim moves through drafting, submission and authority review with its status visible the whole way. Refunds are paid directly to your bank. 47 days average, against an industry average of 61.

WHY VATEDGE

Most VAT recovery is a black box. This isn’t.

The usual process: submit your invoices, wait, and eventually get a number back with no explanation of what was excluded or why. VATedge is built to be the opposite of that.

Transparent by design

Every claimable and non-claimable expense comes with a visible reason — not a final number with no working shown.

Verified before it’s ever submitted

Supplier VAT numbers are validated at the source, so claims go in clean the first time instead of bouncing back from a tax authority.

Nothing gets written off by default

Every claim is investigated before it’s written off, with a clear next action when more evidence is needed.

GETTING STARTED

Connected in an afternoon, not a quarter.

Setup takes under two hours, with no IT project required

Read-only connection to your existing expense, AP or ERP system

First claims filed within 10 working days of connection

Nordhaven Logistics

We’d written off foreign VAT as a cost of doing business — until the first claim came back at €180,000. The difference is we can see exactly why every line qualified.
