- The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has launched an e-VAT refund system, allowing VAT refunds to be credited directly to taxpayers’ bank accounts.
- The new system aims to replace the slow, manual, and corruption-prone refund process, with plans to include other taxes in the future.
- Businesses expect the online system to save time, reduce harassment, and cut costs, as refunds can now be processed within 10 working days without physical visits.
- Significant amounts of VAT refunds have remained unpaid for years, causing financial strain and additional costs for businesses.
- Experts believe the initiative could rebuild trust between taxpayers and the revenue authority if implemented effectively.
