How-to: Connect Expensify to Global VaTax
The Expensify-Global VaTax integration turns your company’s international expenses into an easy VAT refund.

What is VAT?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax applied to goods and services in many countries. VAT-recoverable expenses include hotels, entertainment, conferences, legal and marketing fees, DDP shipping and storage fees, aviation recovery, and other international expenses.
The VAT Refund Process
The VAT refund process is complex and requires a detailed understanding of the regulations and requirements in each country. The VAT rules and rates vary from country to country, and by expense type.
Luckily, expenses tracked in Expensify can be seamlessly synced to Global VaTax for easy VAT analysis, calculation, and reporting. Here's how.
