Do my invoices meet German VAT requirements, and can they be processed retroactively?

Invoices must comply with German VAT regulations to be eligible for retroactive VAT refunds.

In Germany, you can apply for a VAT refund retroactively, provided that your invoices meet the legal requirements. This means your German VAT number, address, and preferably also your Steuernummer must be correctly stated on the invoices. If this information isn’t on your invoices, they don’t meet the requirements and will be rejected by the German tax authorities (Finanzamt). Will you correct the invoices and add the missing details? Once that is done, we can proceed with the refund process.
