Where is the application for refund filed? HM Revenue and Customs VAT Overseas Repayments 8th/13th Directive Custom House, PO Box 34 LONDONDERRY BT48 7AE Northern Ireland Visit UK HMRC for the form and instructions for UK VAT refund claims. What documentation is required to support a refund application? The UK imposes three basic evidential requirements. All three requirements must be met to receive a refund; a) A Certificate of Status issued by the official authority in the third country in which the claimant is established (organized or incorporated). For U.S. businesses the certificate of status can be a U.S. Residency Certification issued by the Internal Revenue Service. This U.S. certification can be obtained by filing Federal Form 8802. It should be noted that the IRS could take at least 45 days to respond to a request for certification. This certifies that the claimant is a properly registered business in the U.S. b) A written declaration that the claimant has not made supplies in the UK during the period covered by the claim. c) Original tax invoices made out to the business (name and business address must match exactly that of the entity filing the claim). ICF will issue such tax invoices on-site in London when attendees check-in and receive their event badge and materials. Registered but now unable to attend ICF Global 2012?
