Our efficient refund service means you don't have to wait for several months for your VAT refund, allowing you to manage and plan your cash flow better. With our clear and transparent service, you know exactly how much VAT you can reclaim, and when you will receive it.
As part of our VAT and excise duty recovery service, FDE receives your invoices directly from Shell, with any time-consuming and complex administration work automatically completed on your behalf. We also handle all communication with the relevant authorities – meaning you never have to worry about issues with language barriers.
Our experts are on hand to answer your questions, helping you understand where you can recover VAT, and what products are eligible for a refund.
This is the fastest method. VAT will be credited to you 2 weeks after the date of invoice. This service is offered on Shell invoices and is available in almost 20 European countries.
With this method your return payment is processed when the tax authorities have transferred the VAT due to you. This service is necessary for those countries where net invoicing is not permitted or possible for your company.
This service is available for customers who register for Net Invoicing. It provides a complementary solution for all non-Shell Card invoices, with VAT refunds credited to you each month.
Alongside VAT refunds, Shell can also help you recover part of your excise duty on diesel purchases. This service is available for Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia and Spain.
