Coromandel SAS is a consultancy based in Bogotá, Colombia, established in 2013 and registered with the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce. We work with businesses worldwide in two areas: recovering the VAT they pay on international business travel, and advising them on managing their corporate travel spend.
Both draw on the same foundation: more than 50 years of experience inside the airline and corporate travel industries, including building the VAT recovery operation at dnata, the travel arm of the Emirates Airlines Group.
VAT Recovery
Your company pays Value Added Tax on hotels, conferences, etc., on business travel abroad. In most European countries that tax is refundable. Most companies never claim it. We handle the entire process, from invoice compliance review to refund into your account, on a Contingency Fee basis: no recovery, no fee.
Country Guides: United Kingdom, Austria, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.
Travel Management Consultancy
We advise companies on getting more mileage from their travel and entertainment budgets: selecting the right travel management company, negotiating pricing, setting up service level agreements, payment solutions, creating effective travel policies, and implementing them. Independent advice, on your side of the table.
