How can I receive VAT refunds directly to my Payoneer balance?

If you paid import VAT on merchandise that did not sell or sold at a price lower than you originally declared, you may be owed a VAT refund. For VAT refunds from HMRC (United Kingdom) or the German Finanzamt, provide the tax authority with your Global Payment Service receiving account details in the applicable currency to receive refunds directly to your Payoneer balance.

If you are owed a VAT refund by a different tax authority, contact us.

How do I request a statement for Amazon?

  1. Log in to your Payoneer account.
  2. From the main menu, go to Activity and choose Store Manager.
  3. Inside Store Manager, select the relevant store and click on Download Statement.

You can download the statement before you have finished connecting your store.

How long does it take for my payment to reach the VAT authorities?

Your payment will reach the VAT authority shortly after the payment is made. The time it takes for the VAT authority to process the payment will vary by country; please allow 10-14 business days for the VAT authority to process your payment.

Can I use a different currency balance to make a VAT payment?

We currently support automated payments only from the balance that corresponds to the currency you would like to pay in. For example, if you are paying to the UK VAT authority the payment will be made from your GBP balance.

If you don’t have enough to cover the payment in your balance, you can now transfer money from one currency balance to another, subject to limitations and eligibility requirements.
