Inward Processing

INWARD PROCESSING (TPA) is an EU fiscal regime which permits vessels under temporary admission with non-EU owner, non-EU flag to do repairs and maintenance without PAYING 21% VAT.

Works carried out must comply with customs and fiscal regulations, with detailed reports and inventories to be submitted to relevant authorities and this regime can only be processed by a registered as a Customs Agent.

Lantimar Yachting and Lantimar Customs & Logistics, officially Authorized Economic Operators (AEO), are allowed to perform and manage refits in TPA regime in Spain. The two companies, working side by side and sharing know-how and experience at an international level, guarantee an efficient and smooth Inward Processing management.

With 10 years’ experience, we have developed a dedicated team to manage the whole process and guide captains, contractors and management through the whole process guaranteeing Customs requirements are met.

This regime can be applied in any marina or shipyard with a recognized Customs location in Spain. So get in touch to make sure you are in the right place.
