VATCAT specializes in recognizing and claiming value added tax refunds owed to companies and individuals. VATCAT aims to provide a broad range of services to its clients as back-owed VAT refunds are indicative of other missed opportunities for proactive and aggressive tax planning.

Our experts bring you extensive experience in dealing with large international companies, a variety of data source providers, telecommunication companies, manufacturers and others.

VATCAT will further provide clients with value-added tax planning and international business strategy including analysis of movement of goods and services, analysis of current client's international business structure and more.

VATCAT is also proud of the fact that it is one of the few U.S. firms representing American companies' interests in doing business abroad. Contact us for a free estimate of what might be owed to you.

Our Philosophy
 
VATCAT was founded to help US companies compete globally. Some studies indicate that US companies leave more than 1 billion dollars in overpaid VAT unclaimed in the coffers of foreign tax authorities. When the local statute of limitation expires on these overpaid taxes they are no longer recoverable and become an expense to your company and a bonus for the foreign tax authority. As unrecovered but recoverable VAT does not qualify for a US Federal Foreign tax credit US companies are hard hit by poor VAT management. At VATCAT we are zealous in our pursuit of recoverable foreign tax and sincerely enjoy  causing foreign tax authorities to return overpaid tax to US taxpayer.
