VATit is an Australian based VAT recovery company specialising in the recovery of Value Added Tax (VAT) from the United Kingdom and mainland Europe. VATit works with over a thousand Australian and New Zealand businesses that travel to, or do business in these countries. Eligible companies often do not reclaim this money even though the sums involved can be quite considerable. Most are deterred by the complexity of the qualifying rules, the level of knowledge required, language difficulties, meeting country specific deadlines and the time involved in making applications to the various tax authorities in each country visited. Many Australian businesses save time and hassle by using VATit to manage the recovery process on their behalf.
Recoverable expenses differ from country to country but generally include all service related expenditure. Claimable expenses include: accommodation, trade shows, conferences, training courses, intercompany expense and most other professional fees.
VATit offers a comprehensive on-site invoice recovery service to identify and extract all claimable expenses. There is no cost to the client for this service as VATit only retains a percentage of the VAT recovered, if no VAT is claimed then no fee is paid.

Lotus Evora
The award-winning Lotus Evora combines agility and instinctive responsiveness as only a true thoroughbred Lotus can. A lightweight mid-engined, rear-wheel drive configuration results in finesse and feedback like no other and with the arrival of the 2012 Evora comes a range of enhancements to complement an already winning formula.
The six-speed IPS - ‘Intelligent Precision Shift’ - system developed by Lotus is an option on both the Evora and the Evora S. In one way, IPS is Evora motoring at it’s purest. It adapts to your driving style, ensuring the car is in exactly the right gear at the right moment to suit every situation. You steer, accelerate and brake as normal; the IPS takes care of the rest. When you want more control a pair of paddle shifts sit behind the steering wheel - flip right to change up, left to change down. And to avoid sudden engine braking, IPS induces ultra-quick throttle blipping during downshifts to harmonise engine and gearbox speeds.
The IPS’s driving modes are controlled from the centre console. Performance is characterised by smoothness, ride, handling and power delivery. Finally there is the Sport button. Engage it and you’re in performance mode as the IPS takes on a new lease of life, lifting the revs to an assertive growl, shifting gears faster and at higher revs. Sport mode applies in automatic as well as paddle-shift mode.
