The Austrian Supreme Administrative Court has overturned a regulation that barred Turkish transportation companies from receiving Value Added Tax (VAT) refunds on fuel purchases made in Austria. 

The ruling follows a legal challenge by the International Association of Road Transport Companies (UND) regarding a regulation that violated international agreements. The decision applies to both future transactions and past claims, allowing Turkish transport companies to re-apply for VAT refunds on fuel paid between January 14, 2021, and June 30, 2026.
