NAFEMS will be able to assist in guidance on this issue at the congress itself. 

Alternatively, NAFEMS has negotiated a package from a local tax consultant to process reclaims completely for a flat fee of 50€ (can be deducted from the tax reclaimed). Contact using the details below, referencing NAFEMS World Congress.
