The processing time for a VAT refund may range from 3 to 6 months, depending on:

• The volume of applications,

• The completeness of your documentation,

• Whether a tax audit or verification is required.

Once approved, the refund is usually made by:

• Bank transfer to your business account (international wire transfer),

• In some cases, offset against other tax obligations in the same country (if applicable).

It is advisable to provide a bank account with international IBAN/SWIFT codes, and to ensure the name on the account matches your business registration details.
