Why our prices are public
In withholding-tax recovery, almost nobody publishes their prices. You fill in a form, a salesperson calls you back, and the rate depends on what you seem willing to accept. That is no accident: a hidden price gets negotiated file by file — and rarely survives daylight.
We do the opposite, for a simple reason: you would discover our prices at signing anyway. Better to know them beforehand — and be able to compare us. A grid you cannot publish is a grid you cannot justify.
Success fee
A fee only when the money comes back
We are paid a percentage of the over-withholding actually recovered, on a degressive bracket scale. No recovery, no fee.
| Bracket of the recovered amount | Rate on this bracket |
|---|---|
| From €0 to €2,500 | 25% |
| From €2,500 to €15,000 | 18% |
| From €15,000 to €75,000 | 12% |
| Above €75,000 | 8% |
A marginal scale, like income-tax brackets
Each slice of the recovered money is billed at its own rate. Recovering more never makes the first euros more expensive: the initial €2,500 stay billed at 25%, only the portion above moves to 18%, and so on. The average rate you actually pay therefore falls as the recovered amount grows.
The floor: €39 per successful claim
Even automated, a claim carries incompressible costs: residence certificate, mailings, follow-ups. When the scale-based fee comes out below €39, we bill €39 — in practice this only affects claims below roughly €156 recovered. The floor is never charged upfront, and never charged when a claim fails.
The cap: €5,000, never more
Whatever the recovered amount, the fee on a single claim never exceeds €5,000. Past a certain size, our work stops growing — and so does your invoice.
Above €75,000 recovered: individual quote
For institutional volumes and family offices, volume pricing replaces the grid. It is the only quote we ever issue — and it comes written, itemised and comparable, like this page.
No win, no fee
Failed claim: a zero invoice. Actually zero.
If the administration rejects the claim or nothing is recovered, you pay no fee, no floor, no disbursements: the costs we incurred (apostille, mailings, translation) stay on us. Disbursements are only ever billed on success, itemised line by line on the final invoice. It is our strongest incentive to file only solid claims — and to tell you no when yours is not one.

Assumes the claim succeeds. The simulator applies exactly this grid to your portfolio, country by country. Indicative amounts — every claim is verified before filing.
Fixed fees
One-off services at a fixed price
Some filings stand on their own. They carry a fixed fee, paid at order — no percentage, no surprise surfacing along the way.
| Service | Fixed fee |
|---|---|
| W-8BEN form (individual) | €49 |
| W-8BEN-E form (entity) | €129 |
| Certificate of tax residence | €79 |
| ITIN application ¹ | €149 |
| Priority handling of a claim close to its filing deadline | €89 |
¹ The ITIN fee is deducted in full from the success fee if you then entrust us with the full recovery.
Subscription
Monitoring & Alerts, so it does not happen again
No commitment
Recovering the past is one thing; not being over-withheld again is another. The subscription watches each portfolio: form validity (an expired W-8BEN silently reverts you to the full rate), approaching filing deadlines, new over-withholding detected on your statements. No commitment: cancel whenever you like.

Disbursements
Real costs, re-billed at cost
Some claims require external costs. Rather than burying them in a higher fee for everyone, we re-bill them to the exact euro, with no margin — and only when the claim succeeds.
- Apostille or legalisation of an official document
- Notarisation of a certificate required by some administrations
- Tracked international mail, where paper filing is mandatory
- Sworn translation requested by the source administration
Every disbursement is flagged before it is incurred, then appears line by line on the final invoice, receipt attached. No disbursement is ever billed on a failed claim.
Small claims
The claims others turn away
A hand-processed recovery claim is expensive: below a few hundred euros of over-withholding, most providers decline — or accept with minimum fees that eat the refund. Our automated pipeline lowers that break-even point: with a €39 floor, claims the industry turns away become viable again.
Transparency cuts both ways: below roughly €60 recoverable, once the €39 floor is deducted, you are left with €21 at best. The simulator spells this out before any claim is opened — we would rather have a well-informed visitor than a disappointed client.
Pricing FAQ
The pricing questions we actually get
Are the prices shown inclusive or exclusive of VAT?
[VAT TREATMENT TO BE CONFIRMED BY A CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT — whether this page and the terms of sale display prices inclusive or exclusive of VAT will be settled before commercial launch.] What will not change: the grid that applies to your claim is the one displayed when you sign the mandate, and the final invoice itemises any applicable tax line by line.
When am I charged?
Never upfront on a recovery claim. The foreign administration refunds you directly, to your own account; once the refund has landed, we issue the invoice (fee plus any disbursements). You always pay after receiving the money. Only one-off fixed services and the subscription are paid at order.
Do several countries mean several claims?
Yes. Each country is a separate application to its own administration, hence a separate claim — and the €39 floor applies per successful claim. Across several small amounts, the maths works against you: the simulator shows it country by country rather than hiding it in a total.
In which currency am I refunded?
The source administration refunds in its own currency (Swiss franc, US or Canadian dollar…) to the account you designate; any conversion depends on your bank. Our fee, however, is invoiced in euros, computed on the euro countervalue of the amount actually received.
What if the administration never replies?
Some administrations take more than twelve months to process a claim. During that time you pay nothing: no time-based billing, no chasing fees. We follow up, you track every step in your client area — and if the claim ultimately fails, the invoice stays at zero.
Can I cancel a claim in progress?
Before the application is filed: yes, at any time, free of charge and without justification. After filing, you can revoke our mandate at any time; if the refund resulting from the application we filed later reaches you, the grid fee remains due — the counterpart of work paid only on success.
Can the grid change after I sign?
No. The grid that applies to your claim is the one published when you sign the mandate. If our pricing evolves, the change is published on this page and only applies to claims opened afterwards.
Your number first. Your decision second.
The simulator applies this page's grid to your portfolio and shows your net figure — including when the honest answer is “don't open this claim”.
