For many businesses, VAT refunds represent meaningful working capital. The process is documentation-intensive, but it becomes more manageable when evidence is organised before submission.

Check input tax quality

Prepare for the audit

Refund applications commonly trigger a tax audit. A clean file with invoice listings, contracts, payment evidence, and reconciliations can shorten review time and reduce disputes.
