I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the following table sets out the number of claims and the monies paid to farmers in VAT refunds each year for the past five years. These figures relate to farmers who are not registered for VAT. Farmers who are registered for VAT account for their VAT transactions, including any refunds due to them through the normal VAT system.
