1. Introduction to tax refund consulting services in An Giang Province

• Tax refunds are when the tax authorities return the amount of tax that a business or individual has paid but is eligible for deduction or refund according to regulations (e.g., VAT refund, refund due to overpayment). PMH’s tax refund consulting service helps you accurately determine eligible tax amounts, standardize refund applications, and guide you through the procedures according to tax authority regulations to maximize your chances of approval.
• The significance of tax refunds: in addition to receiving back the money paid, businesses improve their cash flow, reduce financial pressure, and can reinvest in production – especially important for export businesses or businesses investing in new projects. Using professional services saves you time and reduces the risk of your application being rejected due to missing documents or incorrect forms.
• Our service role ranges from reviewing data and verifying invoice validity to drafting tax refund applications, representing clients in submissions, and monitoring the processing with tax authorities. PMH works closely with your internal accounting department to ensure consistency in accounting records and submitted documents, helping to increase success rates and shorten the time it takes for your business to receive refunds.

Quick tip: You can submit a basic set of documents (invoices, contracts, financial statements) for PMH review free of charge — receive an initial assessment of your tax refund eligibility and a checklist of additional documents needed before submitting officially.

2. When does a business need a tax refund?

• Exporting businesses: When input VAT remains uncredited due to high export revenue or a high input cost structure, a surplus often arises that needs to be refunded. In this case, using a VAT refund service helps businesses standardize their documentation and shorten processing time with the tax authorities.
• For businesses investing in new projects: when significant investment costs arise (purchase of fixed assets, construction costs, professional services), large input VAT amounts may result in refunds. Our consulting services will guide you through the necessary documentation and procedures to properly submit your refund request.
• When settling corporate income tax (CIT, personal income tax): if an overpayment is discovered during the settlement process, the business or individual can request a refund. PMH assists in reviewing settlement documents, identifying eligible amounts, and carrying out refund procedures according to current regulations.
• Incorrect or overpayment: In case of incorrect code payment or overpayment due to incorrect declaration, you can file a refund request or transfer the money. Using a tax refund service helps you follow the correct procedures, prepare explanatory documents, and work directly with the tax authorities to process the overpaid amount.

For example: an exporting company, after reviewing its records, discovered approximately 800 million VND in input VAT that had not been deducted during the year. After using a tax refund service, the complete documentation was prepared, PMH submitted it on behalf of the company, and the business received the refund decision within a few months (the actual time depends on the regulations and inspections of the tax authorities).

Suggested action: If you are unsure whether your case will be eligible for a refund, prepare the basic documentation (invoices, contracts, financial statements) and register for a free document check so that PMH can quickly assess your eligibility for a refund and send you a checklist of documents to be supplemented before submitting the official application.

3. Legal basis for tax refunds

• The Law on Tax Administration (2019) and its amendments and supplements are the general legal basis regulating the management, refund and collection of taxes — all tax refund procedures must be carried out in accordance with current law.
• The Value Added Tax Law and its guiding circulars determine the conditions for VAT refund, the required documents, and the processing procedures for entities such as export businesses and businesses investing in new projects. When preparing VAT refund applications, it is necessary to carefully check the accompanying guiding circulars to ensure compliance with tax authority regulations.
• Detailed decrees and circulars (e.g., decrees on tax administrative procedures, regulations on invoices and supporting documents) related to tax refunds should be consulted by document number before preparing the application. Referencing the correct document number and issuance date helps avoid confusion, as regulations are subject to amendment and supplementation over time.
• Regulations regarding the timeframe, conditions, and required documents for tax refunds vary depending on the type of tax (VAT, corporate income tax, personal income tax). Therefore, when processing tax refunds for businesses or individuals, please follow the regulations of the tax authorities to avoid errors and the risk of having your application rejected.

Note regarding legal documents: many legal documents, decrees, and circulars may be amended or replaced. Before submitting your tax refund application, you should check the official source (the General Department of Taxation’s electronic portal, the National Information Portal) or consult with a legal advisor to ensure your application and procedures comply with the latest tax authority regulations. Suggestion: keep a record of the date of verification and the document number in your file for convenience when the tax authority requests clarification.

For individual taxpayers or foreign clients, it is necessary to consult specific regulations related to personal income tax and procedures for foreign organizations and individuals to ensure your rights and compliance with the law. If needed, PMH is ready to assist in checking relevant legal documents and providing detailed guidance on procedures according to current regulations.

7. The role of internal accounting

• Providing and verifying documents: internal accountants are responsible for gathering invoices, contracts, financial reports, and statements—this forms the basis for the consulting firm to review and finalize the tax refund application.
• Coordinated data review: accountants work closely with the consulting team to address discrepancies and make adjusting entries as recommended before filing — this helps ensure the accuracy of the tax refund application and reduces additional risks after submission.
• Ensuring consistency in accounting records and tax filings: correctly performing accounting entries and recording according to guidelines makes it easier for businesses to get their tax refund applications approved and avoids future legal problems.

8. Risks if businesses handle tax refund applications themselves.

• Incomplete or incorrect application forms: this leads to applications being returned multiple times, prolonging processing times and impacting the business’s cash flow.
• Errors in declarations or the use of invalid documents can lead to back taxes and penalties as prescribed by law — these costs are often greater than the cost of using professional consulting services.
• Being classified as “pre-audit – post-refund”: if the file shows any irregularities, the tax authorities may request a physical inspection before deciding on a refund, causing delays in receiving the refund and requiring additional procedures.
• Internal staff time is wasted: accountants and administrators will have to spend more time explaining and supplementing documents instead of focusing on other important financial management tasks.

Helpful suggestion: PMH could organize a short internal review (workshop) with your accounting department to identify common issues and an action checklist — contact them to schedule a review and mitigate risks before filing your tax refund application.

9. Related administrative penalties

• Penalties for incorrect declarations related to tax refunds: depending on the severity of the violation, businesses or individuals may be subject to administrative penalties as prescribed; detailed penalty levels are stipulated in current decrees and circulars — you should consult the relevant documents or contact an expert to find out the applicable penalty for your specific case.
• Penalties for using invalid invoices and documents: If found to be using forged documents or documents that do not meet regulations, businesses may be fined, have the amount of money they received recovered recovered, and be subject to other administrative measures as prescribed by the tax authorities.
• Tax arrears and late payment penalties: If the refund request is rejected or results in tax liability arising, the business may be subject to retroactive collection of the corresponding amount and late payment penalties as stipulated by the tax authorities.

Note: Penalties and administrative measures may change according to legal regulations; before making a decision or submitting an application, businesses should consult official sources (e.g., the General Department of Taxation’s electronic portal) or consult with PMH to receive specific and up-to-date advice on regulations and penalties related to their case.
