Excise tax refund means that businesses can recover part of the tax paid on products manufactured within the EU – particularly fuels, alcohol, and tobacco products. Transport companies can apply for a partial refund of excise duty on fuel used for professional purposes.
Conditions for fuel excise refund
Countries that allow fuel excise refunds include:
Unlike VAT refunds, there are no unified EU regulations for excise refunds, and therefore no standardized application process – each EU country’s customs administration defines its own procedures.
To receive an excise tax refund, you must complete an excise refund application and attach the required documents and other certificates.
