Czechia Removes Reciprocity for Non-EU VAT Refunds Starting 2026, Simplifying Process

  • From January 1, 2026, Czechia will simplify VAT refunds for non-EU companies by removing the reciprocity condition.
  • All non-EU companies not registered for VAT in Czechia and carrying out specific transactions (intra-community acquisition, import, or use of goods under reverse charge) will be eligible.
  • The new regime allows VAT recovery for all non-EU countries, not just a limited list, and reduces administrative burdens.
  • VAT refund claims must follow new deadlines set by paragraph 83a, not the standard 13th Directive deadline.
  • Required documentation includes copies of relevant tax documents.
