台商在德商務活動可享退稅優惠!
德國聯邦財政部於2010年7月23日公布一份最新加值稅退稅國家名單，台灣亦名列其中，自2010年7月1日起，德國加值稅退稅開始正式生效。此舉將更能吸引商務人士從事德國商務活動，同時對於台灣的參展商和參訪者而言，德國的國際商展將更具吸引力。
以往台灣廠商在德國從事商展或其他商務活動，最高得支付19%加值稅，如今加值稅得以退回下，將大幅降低台灣廠商在德國之商務支出。台灣廠商可經由申請，將其在德國所支付的加值稅申請退回，可退回的項目包含商展攤位租賃、攤位建造、攤位裝潢配件、住宿、交通(計程車、公車和火車)、汽車租賃等等。

Taiwanese companies now entitled to VAT refund in Germany
The German Federal Ministry of Finance has published a letter on July 23, 2010 containing an updated list of third countries with which reciprocity in the input tax refund (VAT refund) procedure exists. China (Taiwan) is included in this new list and hence, with effect from July 1, 2010, reciprocity in the input tax refund procedure was declared.
As a result, Taiwanese companies which acquire goods or services in Germany for their businesses may under certain circumstances obtain a refund of the VAT invoiced to them through the input tax refund procedure. The services include among others booth rental, booth construction, booth accessories, accommodation expenses, transportation expenses (taxi, bus, train), car rental.
Due to the possibility of a VAT refund, Germany will become more attractive for business activities of Taiwanese entrepreneurs. Furthermore, Germany will be strengthened as an international trade fair location for Taiwanese exhibitors and visitors.
New Service: DEinternational Taiwan Ltd., the service unit of the German Trade Office Taipei, offers support for Taiwanese companies, especially exhibitors and visitors to trade fairs, in the process of VAT refund in Germany – this service supports customers from the application to obtaining the payment of the refund.
Background information: In Germany, foreign businesses which do not make any sales but acquire goods and services in Germany and pay VAT (input tax) on them can obtain a refund of the input tax invoiced through a specific refund procedure on application (§ 18 Abs. 9 UStG, §§ 59 to 62 UStDV). Since June 3, 1995 entrepreneurs from non-EU countries are eligible to VAT refund only if the country they are domiciled in does not impose VAT or similar taxes, or if German enterprises are entitled to VAT refund by these countries (principle of reciprocity). The existence of such reciprocity will be declared by the German Federal Ministry of Finance. In a letter of July 23, 2010 the Federal Ministry of Finance declared reciprocity in the case of China (Taiwan).
