We would like to inform you that VAT payers who wish to request, pursuant to Section 82 of the VAT Act, their refund of 2020 VAT paid in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland must submit their request by 31 March 2021. The deadline, which used to be 30 September, has been shortened due to Brexit. The request must be submitted electronically through the General Financial Directorate’s portal www.daneelektronicky.cz. If you have a problem with submitting your request, we will be happy to help you. Do not hesitate to contact us at Richard.Knobloch@cz.gt.com.

After 31 March 2021, all requests concerning the 2020 VAT refund from the United Kingdom must be submitted directly to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.  More information about how to submit your request is provided here.
