VAT repayments
Repayments to an overseas bank account
You can only get VAT repayments paid into an overseas bank account if your company:
- does not have a UK bank account (and you’re unable to get one)
- does not have a UK address
For HMRC to make a payment into your overseas bank account, it must be:
- in the name of the company owed a repayment
- associated with a named business owner or an authorised person who has sign in details for HMRC services
- able to accept repayments in pounds sterling
You must fill in a form to give details of your overseas bank account before HMRC can transfer any VAT repayments. All VAT repayments will then be sent to this bank account.
You can also use the form to change uncashed cheques into electronic payments to your bank account or update your bank details.
You need to sign in to submit your information. If you do not already have sign in details, you’ll be able to create them when you sign in for the first time.
