                    [Summary] => In an article published by the International Monetary Fund in 2021 entitled How To Manage Value-Added Tax Refunds, value-added tax  is described as “one of the most important taxes in the world, both in terms of its global adoption and revenue-generating potential” and that it is an “attractive tax” because of its potential for generating significant government revenue and intrinsic self-enforcement capacity. Nevertheless, the article highlighted that refunding excess input credits is challenging for many tax administrations and can easily undermine VAT operations.
