Oil Production VAT Claims Rejected
To avoid the exportation of indirect taxes, Article 69(a) of the Internal Tax Regime Law recognizes the right to a refund for value added tax (VAT) paid on the importation and local acquisition of goods and services used for the production of export goods. Based on this legal provision, companies with upstream contracts have claimed from the Internal Revenue Service a refund of the VAT paid on the production of the oil they produce and export.
