Tax Refund and Exemption Consulting
We manage companies' VAT, SCT and other tax refund processes in full compliance with regulations, providing professional consulting at every stage, from preparing application files to finalizing the process with the tax office.
Tax refund and exemption processes are a technical area that requires accurate documentation and up-to-date knowledge of regulations. For VAT, Special Consumption Tax (SCT), stamp duty and fee refunds, preparing a complete and accurate application file is the fundamental condition for a fast and smooth process.
Across all refund types, including export VAT refunds, transactions subject to reduced rates, refunds under the withholding (reverse charge) mechanism, and the recovery of overpaid or unduly paid taxes, we are with you at every stage of the process, from file preparation and tax office follow-up to coordinating CPA (YMM) refund reports and handling offset or cash refund transactions.

Depends on the authority's processing timeFAQ
The timeframe varies depending on the refund type, the completeness of the file, whether a CPA (YMM) report is required, and the tax office's workload. A file prepared without deficiencies significantly speeds up the process. A precise time commitment cannot be given due to regulatory and administrative procedures.
Both methods are possible. Offset applies against your existing tax liabilities, while a cash refund is paid directly to you. Together, we determine the most suitable method based on the amount, your liability status and your preference.
No. The requirement for a CPA (YMM) certification report depends on regulatory thresholds set according to the refund type and amount. Refunds below certain amounts can be finalized without a report, while in some cases a guarantee or tax audit route may also be preferred.
Yes. Taxes paid mistakenly or in excess can be recovered through refund or offset by applying within the statute of limitations set out in the regulations. Accurate documentation is decisive in this process.
The tax office may send a deficiency notice for matters it finds incomplete in the file. Responding to these notices within the deadline and with the correct documents is important for the process to proceed smoothly; we follow up on this stage on your behalf.
