VAT refund, how it happens - conditions
Taxpayer VAT refund: latest version 2021 is available to all users and citizens of the Russian Federation. When exporting from the budget, the taxpayer returns the amount declared in the declaration. If the user has some tax debts, the territorial authority can collect an amount equal to the amount. Objections in this case will not be accepted.
In practice, returning the amount is a complex science that requires time and effort. Of course, very often people may encounter incorrect amounts, an incorrectly structured process and the actions of certain authorities. If for any reason you do not agree with the tax decision, you have the opportunity to appeal it to the arbitration court, according to the order. A range of taxation services is provided to all who contact the service.
The named supplier may charge fees for services provided. Exceeding calculus is something anyone can do.
Application for VAT refund to the current account,
In practice, reimbursement occurs to any bank account. In order to carry out this procedure, you must fill out a sample application, which must indicate the card account number. When concluding an exchange agreement, the export conditions are somewhat different from the usual ones. The customs procedure for leasing has a number of organizations that monitor the reimbursement of VAT amounts. What's happened? What to do when buying an apartment? Is there a bank guarantee?
VAT refund from the budget
A bank guarantee for the return of certain amounts of VAT has a period. Most often this is three years. Transferring to the next month when importing is possible with early agreement. The acceptance procedure will not take much time. An explanatory note about the reasons for non-return is required. How does a refusal occur? The reasons for the delay in refunding the amount must be stated in writing.
VAT refund on export
In case of compensation upon export, a declaration with the designation export is submitted. In this case, the fee may be slightly higher than the established one. Payment is made to the bank account within the established time frame. It is highly undesirable to exceed the specified days, as an additional percentage of the amount may be charged. Once a year, a desk audit of the enterprise's activities is carried out. Payment can be made through third parties, but with the indication of the head of the enterprise. If disputes arise, it is highly advisable to resolve them in court. You can also go to court if unresolved issues arise regarding one or another payment of VAT upon export.
VAT refund when importing goods
The most difficult procedure is a tax refund from the import of a particular product. Most often, the specifics of the service itself are somewhat complex and require effort and time. In addition to submitting the appropriate application, a special package of documents for the organization is submitted. The money transfer takes place through a current account. This year, sometimes there are problems with application refusal. In this case, judicial practice comes to the rescue, which can provide answers to all unfinished questions.
Desk audit of VAT for refund
A desk audit of an enterprise means a thorough study of materials and packages of documents provided by a particular organization. In practice, the entire process takes about 3 business days. Afterwards, reporting is provided indicating all obvious errors. These corrections must be corrected within the time limit established by the territorial tax authority. Electronic submission is not possible.
The Tax Service conducts audits of all declarations filed by an organization for a certain tax period. If no inconsistencies or violations were found, the tax office to which the declarations were submitted makes a decision on VAT refund within 7 working days. If any violations are discovered, the tax office will draw up a report, which is reviewed by the head of the tax service. Based on the results of the review, a decision is made whether any sanctions will be taken due to the violations committed.
In addition, the tax office may consider the amount of the taxpayer’s recoverable amount. In some cases, a decision may be made to partially refund VAT. So, if there are previously unpaid fees, state duties and other obligatory payments, their amount will be deducted from the amount of the restored VAT.
To reflect information on export transactions of taxpayers and tax audits carried out in relation to them, a software and information complex PIK VAT has been developed. This module reflects information about what contracts the company has concluded with foreign counterparties, whether control measures were carried out in relation to it, and whether it was previously reimbursed for taxes from the budget. Entering information into a common database is the right of a legal entity, not its obligation.
Russian companies have the right to download the VAT PIK for free on the website of the Federal Tax Service or the State Scientific Research Center of the Federal Tax Service. If you use the module autonomously, the accountant will be forced to enter information about export-import transactions twice: the first time this must be done in the enterprise’s accounting program. To avoid unnecessary work, you can integrate the module with 1C or other systems.
It is not difficult to understand which version of the program is currently the latest. This information is posted on the Federal Tax Service portal. There is also information about which systems the module is compatible with, what modifications were made to it compared to previous versions.
When was the latest version of the program released?
All information about which version of the “VAT Refund: Taxpayer” program is relevant right now can be found on the sites mentioned above.
When searching for information, pay attention to the following subtlety. The text editor contains a file called Readme. It contains information about what services are included in the software package. This is where information is located about the version number of the program available for download, and about what adjustments have been made to the previous version of the complex.
Is working with the program required?
Not a single legal act in force in Russia provides a direct indication of the obligation of taxpayers to enter data into the VAT program. It is easy to download, it is freely available, it is easy to learn and integrate with the enterprise accounting system, but no one forces companies to use this module. This is a right of legal entities that they may not take advantage of.
Explanations from tax authorities state that taxpayers do not have an obligation to enter data into the program. The Federal Tax Service may ask for this, expressing a wish as a recommendation. Fiscal departments note that completing the module is in the interests of the organizations themselves. This helps them speed up the VAT refund process (in practice, not always), and avoid unreasonable refusals given by tax authorities due to technical failures and malfunctions.
Fiscal services indicate that entering information into the program allows the taxpayer to control its completeness and correctness, which will simplify the refund procedure. Accountants believe that using the module means double control, which is not objectively necessary. Be that as it may, non-use of the system cannot become a basis for refusing a VAT refund.
The VAT program is an easy-to-use application that can be easily integrated with the company's accounting system. This can be done independently or with the help of service companies. Its use is not mandatory, but it is desirable, because it can speed up tax refunds and reduce the risk of unjustified refusals.

If the tax service does not return VAT amounts on time, then these structures can also be held legally accountable.
General information about the declaration
Entering information to generate information from documents confirming the validity of applying a zero VAT rate begins with adding a declaration that reflects exports. By clicking on the name of the declaration, you need to fill out general information about it.
In the “Reporting period” field, select the quarter and year in accordance with the period for which the declaration was prepared.

In the “Taxpayer (exporter) attribute” field, within the framework of the organization’s (or individual entrepreneur’s) activities, one of the proposed options is selected. So, if the exporter (organization or individual entrepreneur) himself produces goods sold for export, then the attribute “manufacturer of export goods” is selected; if he sells previously purchased goods for export, then he is a “reseller”, etc.

VAT refund when exporting goods (instructions)
Taxes
- Taxes 08/23/2013 Today, the topic of VAT refund when exporting goods to Kazakhstan is very relevant.
The Kazakhstan market is characterized by stable demand not only for Russian-made goods, but also Chinese ones. Many managers mistakenly believe that the procedure for refunding VAT from the budget for export operations to Kazakhstan takes a lot of time and does not guarantee a positive result.I am the head of a consulting company that has been successfully providing this service for two years now. As a result, my Clients receive VAT refunds from the budget strictly
Comments and clarifications
Are taxpayers required to submit information from documents to confirm export VAT electronically to the tax authority?
Currently, the Tax Code of the Russian Federation does not impose such an obligation on taxpayers. However, the tax authorities ask to provide the specified information in order to carry out more prompt and effective control in relation to the amounts of VAT declared for reimbursement from the budget (letters of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated June 20, 2006 No. 03-2-03 / [email protected] , 08.09.2006 No. ShT -6-03/ [email protected] ). In this regard, VLSI users can generate the specified information in the VLSI program in the form “VAT Refund”, which is similar to the Federal Tax Service PC “VAT Refund: Taxpayer” (https://www.nalog.ru/rn76/program//5961282/).
PIK VAT is the name of the program that allows you to summarize and generate information on desk audits carried out on VAT claimed for refund. Using this information complex, the processed data is subsequently transported from the local tax level to higher ones - regional and federal.
When was the latest version of the program released?
Purpose of PIK VAT
Should a taxpayer use the VAT PIK?
Confirmation of a zero tax rate using PIK VAT
Deadlines for confirming the zero rate
You must confirm the zero export rate no later than 180 calendar days from the date of affixing the customs stamp on the documents. If you do not meet this deadline, you will not only have to pay VAT at general rates, but also submit an updated declaration, as well as pay a penalty for late payment of tax. The same applies to the situation when, for some reason, there are no customs stamps on the convoys.
But even if you meet the deadlines and the package of documents meets the requirements of the law, this does not guarantee that the zero rate will be confirmed and the tax authority will make a decision on VAT refund. So far we are talking only about the fact of confirmation of export. The final goal is still far away: tax officials need to check the authenticity of the documents, their correct completion and compliance with the requirements of the law; make sure that the exporter has no debt to the budget.
Should a taxpayer use the VAT PIK?
Not a single legislative norm contains any indication that the taxpayer is obliged to form the PIK VAT base himself. However, the Federal Tax Service, represented by its local authorities, constantly asks you to fill out the columns of this program. What should a taxpayer do: ignore the requests of tax officials or not spoil his authority and provide the requested data?
It seems to us that it is right to meet the inspection halfway and create the required data block. The tax authorities' arguments in favor of this decision are as follows:
- PIK VAT can be downloaded without any problems.
- This program is easy to use.
- The data entered into it will allow tax authorities to reduce the time required for desk audits and to better examine the information provided. As a result, it is possible to avoid refusals of VAT refunds due to technical inaccuracies and lack of data.
However, a greater role here is played by the issue of diplomacy and reluctance to receive a “black mark” from the Federal Tax Service. Accountants believe that the use of PIK VAT in an organization leads to double control by the tax service.
Results
Taxpayers themselves have the right to decide whether or not to enter data into the “VAT Refund: Taxpayer” program. If this does not cause any difficulties for the accountant, then it is still worth entering. And even if this does not reduce the time for conducting a desk audit, there is every reason to believe that such a concession can protect the company from unjustified refusals to refund VAT.
If an accountant has problems entering information into this program, then turning to service companies to purchase special applications will simplify these difficulties.
Thus, using special applications and settings, data from your accounting database can be integrated into the program offered by the fiscal department. You can find more complete information on the topic in ConsultantPlus. Free trial access to the system for 2 days.
VAT information program: obligation or right?
Due to the fact that no legislative act states that taxpayers are required to enter data into the VAT PIK on their own, and based on the information given above, it becomes clear that taxpayers may not comply with the tax office’s request to fill out data in this program. Although, of course, as mentioned above, it is absolutely easy to download the VAT PIK, and it is quite simple to master.
The fiscal department itself has also repeatedly stated that taxpayers are not required to enter data into this program, but the request to do so does not violate their rights. Taxpayers themselves should be interested in implementing these recommendations. The interest of taxpayers, according to tax officials, is to reduce the time required for an audit (although in fact this does not always happen) and to help the tax authorities conduct a more thorough and high-quality audit in order to prevent refusals of reimbursement due to technical errors. This is exactly the explanation that can be found in the recommendations of the Federal Tax Service, for example, in the letter dated 08/09/2006 No. ШТ [email protected]
Fiscal officials also suggest that this program will allow the taxpayer, when entering information, to independently verify its correctness and completeness. That is, instead of an obligation, the taxpayer allegedly gains a benefit that will allow him to overcome all obstacles on the way to receiving the requested compensation. According to many accountants, in fact we are talking about double control.
