Do you have VAT to be reclaimed for the year 2014, that was invoiced to you by VAT entrepreneurs in other EU member states? Make sure you file your reclaim request ultimately 30 September 2015. In virtually all EU member states, late filing is reason for the non-acceptance of the claim. For Dutch VAT entrepreneurs, the filing of this so called 8th Directive reclaim request van be done through the portal site of the Dutch tax authorities:
