Overview of VAT refunds

This table gives a breakdown of the cash refunds that are kept separate for the calculation of "pure VAT", as indicated in the general notes to the federal budget. "Pure VAT" is the difference between the gross VAT receipts collected and the VAT refunds. The figure is given on an annual basis and in thousands of euros. Note: Refunds and corrections made by the General Administration of Customs and Excise (AGD&A) are shown for the record but are not included in the total. As usual, they are already deducted from the pure gross VAT collected by the AGD&A.
