How long does it take to local customs to respond to your excise duty refund claim?
The refund periods are highly variable but are generally fairly long, from 6 months to more than a year.
FastVAT registers and files applications in each country in which you have sufficiently refuelled and keeps in touch with the administration until the refund is complete.
In some cases, we can prefinance the amount of the excise duty claimed: you can receive the full quarterly or yearly amount as soon as the claim period is open instead of waiting for more than 6 months to get a decision by local customs.
