Recover VAT and excise duty paid in other EU countries
Upload your fuel and toll invoices, we take care of the whole claim with the tax authorities. You only pay a commission once the money actually reaches you.
How it works
From the fuel invoice to the money in your account — four simple steps, the whole process is visible in real time from your account.
Open an account
Sign up with email and password or with Google, in a few minutes. Fill in your company details — registration number, address, IBAN — and start right away, free of charge and with no card required.
Open a claim and upload your invoices
For each country and tax type (fuel VAT, toll VAT, excise duty) you open a separate claim and upload your invoices as PDF or photo. An AI assistant reads them automatically — issuer, country, amount, VAT — and fills in the claim amount; you just check it.
We verify and file the claim
The eurotaxe team verifies the documents, tells you if anything is still missing (we keep our own checklist for every country) and prepares the complete claim — including invoice scans — for filing with the tax authority in the relevant country.
You track status and get paid
You can see the exact status of the claim at any time (submitted → under review → approved → paid) and get an automatic alert if a legal deadline is approaching. When the money arrives, the commission is calculated automatically from the recovered amount only, and the rest is paid out to you.
What happens automatically, behind the scenes
AI invoice reading
Issuer, country, amount and VAT extracted automatically from every invoice you upload.
Checklist per country
We show you whether you've uploaded enough documents for your claim's country and tax type.
Deadline alerts
We notify you automatically when a legal filing deadline is approaching.
Automatic commission invoice
Generated automatically once the claim is paid, ready to download from your account.
What taxes we recover
We recover VAT on any expense paid in the EU for your routes, plus fuel excise duty where a refund scheme exists.
Fuel VAT
VAT paid on every refuelling in other EU member states — read automatically from the invoice by AI, even if you have dozens of receipts a month.
Toll VAT
VAT on vignettes, bridge tolls, tunnel and road tolls paid abroad (e.g. Austria, Germany, France, Hungary).
VAT on other expenses
Repairs, spare parts, driver accommodation or ferries paid in another EU country — any VAT-bearing expense tied to the international route.
Fuel excise duty
Partial refund of diesel excise duty, only in countries where an active scheme exists. You don't need to know which ones: for every excise claim, the platform tells you whether that country has a confirmed scheme or not.
Scan the receipt from the cab, the rest is automatic
The eurotaxe Android app turns the driver's phone into a smart scanner: the fuel receipt or toll invoice gets read by AI straight into the company account, with no paper lost and no waiting for the driver to reach the office.
Photograph the receipt
Right from the cab, right after paying — the driver opens the app and photographs the receipt or invoice in a few seconds.
AI reads it automatically
Issuer, country, amount and VAT are extracted automatically from the photo, just like when uploading documents on the site — no one types data by hand.
It syncs instantly
The document shows up right away in the company account on eurotaxe.ro, ready to attach to the right claim.
You confirm from the panel
From the company panel you see everything drivers have sent, group the documents by country and tax type, and confirm the claims — just like with imports on the site.
Invoices read themselves
When you upload a PDF, an AI assistant automatically extracts the amount, VAT, country and invoice type — and tells you if any document is still missing from your claim. You just confirm.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the service cost?
Nothing upfront. We take a percentage commission only on the amount actually recovered — if we recover nothing, you pay nothing.
What documents do I need to upload?
Fuel invoices, toll receipts and, where relevant, CMR waybills. The platform tells you if anything is still missing for your claim.
Which countries can I recover VAT from?
From most EU member states where your company paid VAT on fuel or road tolls.
How long does a refund take?
It depends on the tax authority in the relevant country — usually a few months. You can track the exact status of your claim from your account at any time.
How does the automatic AI invoice reading work?
When you upload an invoice (PDF or photo), an AI assistant extracts the issuer, country, amount and VAT and fills in the claim. The data is indicative — you and the eurotaxe team can check and correct it any time while the claim is still a draft.
Do I file the claim with the tax authority, or do you?
We do. The eurotaxe team prepares the complete claim, with invoice scans, and handles the actual filing with the authority in the relevant country. You just upload your invoices and track the status from your account.
What does each claim status mean?
A claim moves through visible stages: draft → submitted for review → under review → approved (fully or partially) or rejected → paid. Every status change is timestamped in the claim history.
Are my invoices and data safe?
Yes — documents are stored privately, accessible only to your account and the eurotaxe team working on the claim. Full details on our privacy page.
Do you also have a mobile app?
Yes — an Android app for drivers, available on Google Play. Receipts and invoices get scanned with AI straight from the cab, not just from the office (see the "Mobile app" section above on this page).
