    As long as you got a VAT receipt then it's the same process you use as when claiming back Irish VAT. us all being in the EU.

    Who do I find out what to send and where to send it?

    I think you need to claim it back from the German tax authorities as you haven't imported anything into Ireland.

    The Revenue used to be very slow on VAT reimbursements on hospitality (they used to charge VAT on staff canteens, even if the canteen was free), but this may have changed recently.

    Hi shatter,

    Just a quick note, over here you're not allowed to claim back the VAT on hotels so I'm not sure if you'll be able to claim it back. I think you'll have to contact the revenue and see what they have to say about it.
