Zoho Expense - Taxback International Integration

Taxback International is a VAT reclaim software that makes the process of reclaiming VAT on your international corporate travel expenses, simple and effortless.

VAT is an indirect tax that is levied on the supply of goods and services in various countries. Whenever employees undertake international business trips, it becomes a huge business expense for companies. However, businesses can claim back VAT on international travel and entertainment expenses connected to employees' business trips, even if their business is not VAT registered in the country where the expenses incurred. The reclaimable expenses include accommodation, meals, taxis, car hire, public transport, and conference costs. With Taxback International, you can easily reclaim VAT on these expenses as they simplify the process of reclaiming VAT and help you have a control over your global travel expenditure.

Here’s how the integration works:

Once you enable the integration, all the expenses and the expense receipts that are associated with reimbursed expenses will be automatically exported to Taxback International. Taxback International will then analyse if the expenses are eligible for VAT reclaim, and help you receive the maximum refund based on the VAT rules.
