VAT Refund Services

If your input VAT consistently exceeds output VAT, that credit is your cash sitting with the FTA. We prepare refund claims that stand up to the scrutiny they always receive.

Exporters, businesses in build-out phases, and companies with zero-rated revenues routinely accumulate VAT credits. The law lets you reclaim them — but refund applications receive close FTA review, and claims fail or stall on the same things every time: missing compliant tax invoices, weak export evidence, and returns that don’t reconcile.

Taxspire prepares refund applications the way the FTA reviews them: every material invoice checked for compliance, export documentation assembled, the claim reconciled to filed returns, and responses to FTA information requests handled promptly. Where credits are better carried forward than claimed, we tell you that too.

The process

How it works

Step 01

Credit review

We verify the credit is real, recoverable and worth claiming.

Step 02

Evidence build

We assemble and test the documentation the FTA will ask for.

Step 03

Submission

The application is filed with a reconciliation to your returns.

Step 04

Follow-through

We answer FTA requests and track the claim to payment.

What we’ll need from you

Filed VAT returns showing the credit position
Purchase invoices supporting input VAT claimed
Export evidence: customs exits, airway bills, delivery proof
Bank details for the refund payment
Prior refund correspondence, if any

Expected timeline

Claim preparation typically takes 1–2 weeks depending on invoice volume. FTA review commonly runs 20 business days and may extend with information requests — we manage the exchange throughout.

Timelines depend on document readiness and authority processing; we confirm a schedule before work begins.
