Who is concerned by the VAT Refund electronic procedure?

Since 1st January 2010, the procedure for reimbursement of VAT incurred by EU taxable persons in Member States where they are not established has been replaced by a fully electronic procedure, thereby ensuring a quicker refund to claimants.

The new procedure makes life easier for taxable persons and improves the functioning of the internal market. It also changes the way tax authorities and economic operators work and collaborate.

How was the course developed?

The course has been developed under the Fiscalis 2013 programme by a group of experts on VAT refund.
