On 1 July 2022, a new procedure came into force regarding the refund application of VAT by taxpayers established outside the EU who are not identified for VAT purposes in Belgium (according to the 13th VAT Directive).
The application for a refund according to the 13th Directive can no longer be made on paper but must henceforth be submitted electronically via a specific form which is available on the website of the Belgian Federal Public Service Finance (MyMinFin).
