What is it
A VAT refund is one of the most complex procedures in Kazakh tax law. The State Revenue Committee often denies refunds, citing supplier issues or incomplete documentation. We know how to build the evidence base, remove the grounds for refusal and, where necessary, recover the VAT through the courts.
What we do
- Assessment of the merits of the refund claim and the chances of success
- Preparation of the full set of supporting documents
- Support during counter-checks of suppliers
- Proving due diligence in selecting counterparties
- Appealing refusals to refund
- Court recovery of VAT in cases of unlawful refusal
How we work
Assessment
We analyse the grounds for refund and the supplier chain. We assess the chances of success and identify weak points.
Documents
We assemble the full set: contracts, delivery notes, acts, bank statements. We confirm the reality of transactions.
Support
We handle the matter with the State Revenue Committee throughout the procedure. We respond to requests and attend counter-checks.
Recovery
If refusal is unreasonable — we appeal it pre-trial and then in court, recovering interest for the delay in refund.
Result for the client
VAT refunded to the company's account. Where refusal is unlawful — court recovery with interest. Typical timeline: 3–6 months.
