- Foreign businesses attending the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics may reclaim Italian VAT on eligible event-related expenses.
- Eligible claimants include organizations not established in Italy but registered for VAT in their home country (EU, UK, Israel, Norway, Switzerland).
- Refundable expenses include accommodation, food, transport, car rental, event participation costs, and locally purchased goods/services, provided they are business-related and properly documented.
- VAT refund claims must be submitted by 30 September 2027 for 2026 expenses; missing the deadline forfeits entitlement.
- Professional VAT specialists can manage the refund process, ensuring compliance, timely submission, and maximized recovery. Early preparation is advised.
