If you are a UK business, and you have incurred VAT in the Netherlands or any other EU Member State (MS) after 31 December 2020, you can recover the VAT by submitting so-called “13th Directive procedure” claim.
It is possible to submit a claim over the last 5 years in the Netherlands.
An appeal is possible only if the claim is submitted within certain time limits, see more details below.
No reciprocity is required in the Netherlands.
