Spectrum of the refund:

You can apply for a refund for the costs that accrue from all aspects of exhibitions and trade fairs. Costs accrued include the following, for example:

Travelling costs, that accrue for journeys by car, train, plane or rented cars; domestic visits by customers are also included
The rental and construction of your exhibition stand
Hotel costs for you, your employees and guests
Hospitality in restaurants or directly at your exhibition stand

In case of doubt, it pays to submit all your original invoices to ETL experts so they can check whether a VAT refund is possible. And this won’t cost you a penny if it turns out that you have no basis for claiming a refund.
