Did you know that you can recover up to 6 cents per litre on your fuel in France, Belgium & Spain? The recovery of fuel or diesel duty (known as TIPP or Gasoleo Profesional) is an important means to save your company money and one that many companies travelling throughout the continent are unaware they can reclaim.
The TIPP or Gasoleo Profesional refund is available in France, Belgium & Spain. The amount that is refundable is set by the governments in those countries and can differ according to the region where the fuel is bought. Although the application process is complex, we will manage the whole claim process for you -the only thing you need to do is keep a bank account in the UK open to receive your refund directly from the corresponding treasury.
Are you elegible for TIPP recovery? If you are operating vehicles which weigh over 7.5 tons and fuel in any of these countries then you can start recovering this money now. Also bear in mind that if you have never recovered this fuel tax before, we can apply for refunds going back three years. This could lead to a substantial amount of money being refunded in to your account.
