So, why lose out on what is owed to you? With TecEx, ensure your import allows for a full VAT recovery.
TecEx Ensures VAT Compliance
When imports are not structured in the right manner, the VAT will become a sunk cost. TecEx’s solution considers both IOR and the VAT recovery element, ensuring a streamlined process for reclaiming VAT.
VAT Filing on Your Behalf
Filing for VAT recovery can be a complex and extensive procedure. Regulations vary according to country, commodity, and transaction – all resulting in differing rates and rules.
VAT Recovery
TecEx does more than ensure the timely importation of your mission-critical gear to the site. We also assist with value-added services after the shipping process, such as recovering the import VAT associated with that shipment.
There are numerous countries where TecEx can offer our clients upfront VAT solutions, which means they can save up to 25% of the hardware value on imports.
Tech hardware is often high-value, and with tax rates of up to 25%, the additional costs are significant to budgets. Frequently, businesses cannot recover any of their cross-border VAT incurred on business expenditures. In this volatile environment, no company can afford to forgo this financial opportunity.

VAT Recovery and High-Value Hardware
VAT Solutions for AI Imports
Not only do we assist with fast-tracking the deployment of mission-critical AI hardware, but we have also developed a bespoke solution to recover the import VAT associated with this gear.
Given the value of the hardware, the most significant cash outflow for large-scale hardware deployment across borders is import VAT. Without a proactive strategy to safeguard recovery, the costs can cripple a project.
Our specialized AI VAT Recovery project ensures that we take on this responsibility for our clients, providing complete VAT compliance in the country of import and allowing for cost savings.

Import Tax Recovery FAQs
How does the VAT recovery process work?
When incorporated into our IOR solution, we handle the entire shipment and all the associated documents, submitting VAT filings on your behalf. From structuring the shipment in the most appropriate way to dealing with tax authorities, we manage the entire VAT reclaim process on your behalf.
Can I use this solution without the IOR service?
Yes, you can. As experts in tax recovery, if we handle the shipment portion, we can structure the transaction to maximize your VAT reclaim.
