The time to obtain VAT refund measures the time from purchase of the machine to the date of submission of the refund claim (this is equal to half the filing period), the length of any mandatory period that the excess output VAT must be carried forward before a claim can be made, and the time from the submission of the VAT refund claim to the date the refund is received. If a company that requests a VAT cash refund arising from a capital purchase would be selected for additional review in 50% or more of cases, the duration of the review is included in the time to obtain a VAT refund. The component indicator is computed based on the methodology in the DB17-20 studies.
