For purchases in Dutch auctions of lots won through business accounts that are exported to countries outside the EU within 3 months following the purchase date we can only process a VAT refund request when you send us an official EX-A document. You can contact the customs in the country of purchase of your lot to arrange an EX-A document. You need to fill in an EX-A document per auction and send it back to us, together with the original invoice to which your request relates, within three months after closing. Requests for VAT refunds are processed for VAT amounts starting from €50.
Troostwijk Auctions offers this as a service to customers. Normally you would have to apply for a temporary VAT number with our tax authorities and reclaim the VAT in your own name.
Please send the completely filled out and signed documents to info@troostwijkauctions.com
Buyers from the UK (excluding Northern Ireland) must pay the full amount including VAT due to Brexit. VAT cannot be reclaimed and buyers can contact the customs/tax office in Heerlen. Telephone: +31 45 574 30 31.
