Paris photo

The British embassy in Paris is planning a showcase of pet care products from the UK. The one-day event on 24 June will be held on the terrace overlooking the embassy garden and targeted at the leading pet care distributors, wholesalers and retail chains in France. Entrance to the product showcase will be by invitation only.

The embassy’s commercial team are keen to feature new, innovative and stimulating products that demonstrate British flair in the pet care sector. The size of the venue and the tightly focused nature of the event mean that it will be limited to a maximum of 20 exhibitors. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Interzoo sold out

Membership of PetQuip offers help and cost savings in obtaining refunds of VAT paid in the EU

A new electronic VAT refund procedure will be introduced across the EU for all claims submitted after 1 January 2010 to replace the current paper-based system. Businesses established in the UK will submit claims for VAT incurred in other EU countries on a standardised form through the UK Government Gateway, rather than direct to the Member State of Refund as at present.

For a guidance note including draft legislation see:
Refund scheme guidance (PDF116K)

To help unravel these mysteries and leave you free to concentrate on developing your business, PetQuip has negotiated reduced rates for our members with one of the country’s leading VAT recovery specialists. As a member of PetQuip, that means you qualify for discounted fees for reclaiming VAT paid in the EU – and can let someone else get on with the work of retrieving your refunds. The even better news is that no fees are payable to the recovery specialist until your refunds are received.
