Choose from different types of refund to cover all your tax refund needs

Net Invoicing VAT Refund
The fastest method. VAT will be deducted from your due amounts just 2 weeks after the date of invoice.  Only euroShell Card invoices are subject to this type of refund. Net Invoicing is available from most European countries.

Normal VAT Refund
With this method, the return payment is processed when the tax authorities have actually transferred the VAT due to you. This service is necessary for those countries where net invoicing is not permitted or possible for your company.

Monthly VAT Refund
This service is available for customers who register for Net Invoicing or Normal VAT Refund. It provides a complementary solution for all non-euroShell Card invoices. Monthly VAT Refund offers you a straightforward, Europe-wide solution for all your on-the-road expenditures.

Refund of Excise Duty on Diesel Fuel
In addition to the refund of VAT, you can claim reimbursement of part of the Excise Duty on diesel fuel from a number of countries. This could make a valuable contribution towards your costs. As a euroShell Card customer, you can currently reclaim excise duty on diesel purchases in:

• France
• Italy
• Belgium
• Slovenia
• Spain

To benefit from this scheme please make sure that you are registered for the VAT Refund service.

VAT Registration for Coach Operators
In order to reclaim VAT in some countries e.g. Denmark, Germany, Belgium and Austria, coach operators are required to register with the local tax authorities. This can be time-consuming and complicated, especially if you do not speak the local language. By registering with FDE, you can get help to complete your registration accordingly.

Excise duty refund in Slovenia is possible with euroShell Card and our partner FDE

From 1.7.2009 onwards a refund of € 0.13 per litre diesel uplifted in Slovenia is possible. This refund applies for trucks with a gross weight above 7.5 tons and busses in the categories M2/M3, which are registered in one of the EU countries, Norway, Switzerland or Lichtenstein.

The excise duty on diesel oil can be refunded either monthly or annually, but you must note that the authorities do not accept any combination of monthly and annual applications. So for 2009 only an annual refund is possible, which can be done until end of March 2010.

From 2010 onwards you can also choose the monthly application option, but then all necessary forms and data (incl. total uplifted volume data of the month) must be handed in at the authorities within the end of the month for the previous requested month (e.g. for August by end of September). If this is not done in time, the month is lost and can’t be done on an annual basis. To be sure to get the full refund we would advise you to choose the annual option.

You can register for this service with our partner FDE. Please, contact our Customer Service Centre for more information.
