An Australia company has been charged VAT on an export shipment from Australia to Germany by FedEx. Can an Australia business be charged VAT and claim VAT back?

Hi @Amy2020,

You won't be able to claim the VAT through us, since we do not mandate or apply VAT to purchases. This means we won't be able to tell you if you can claim it back, either.

You'll need to speak to the government revenue/tax office which has imposed the VAT (likely Germany).
