VAT and ISR Tax Refunds

At ST STRATEGO we have a consolidated track record in the technical management of requests for refund of balances in favor of Value Added Tax (VAT) and Income Tax (ISR) before the Tax Administration Service (SAT). Our team has accompanied companies from different sectors — industrial, commercial, export and services — in the timely recovery of their balances in favor, through a solid document integration that allows favorable resolutions to be obtained from the first procedure.

The federal tax refund procedure, regulated by Article 22 of the Federal Tax Code, requires a rigorous analysis of the taxpayer’s supporting, accounting, and tax documentation, as well as precise technical attention to the requirements for additional information that the authority may formulate during the exercise of its powers of verification. A deficient document integration at this stage is usually the most common cause of rejections, partial refusals, or prolonged procedures that end up escalating to contentious instances.

For this reason, at ST STRATEGO we focus our intervention on the preventive and management stage: the exhaustive analysis of the supporting documentation, the correct attention to the SAT’s information requirements within the corresponding deadlines and terms, and the punctual follow-up of each procedure, with the aim of ensuring that the refund is resolved favorably without the need to resort to administrative appeals or means of defense.

Our technical and institutional support

The cases presented below reflect favorable resolutions obtained for our clients in terms of VAT refund and ISR refund, in different fiscal years, resolved within the administrative procedure itself and without the need for litigation.

Our work processes are certified under the ISO 9001:2015 Standard, which guarantees our clients the rigorous, traceable and consistent handling of each return file, from the integration and validation of documents to the favorable conclusion of the procedure before the SAT.

Likewise, we have proven experience in the public and private sectors, which allows us to understand the criteria and technical requirements that the supervisory authority applies in the review of this type of application, and with this, anticipate the necessary information for efficient management from the beginning of the process.

Below is documentary evidence of some of the favorable resolutions obtained for our clients in terms of tax refunds.
