The claim must be submitted electronically to HMRC by 30 September of the year following to the year over which the VAT was suffered. However, the Dutch authorities have extended the period for which a claim can be submitted, in respect of any Dutch VAT suffered, up to 5 years.
In conclusion, this provides a great opportunity for anyone who failed to submit a EU VAT refund their Dutch VAT suffered between 2011-2015 to make a belated claim to recover the VAT suffered.
