Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new automated refund system allows for the automated sanctioning of 90% of provisional refunds for low-risk claims, while also reducing the time limit for acknowledgement or deficiency memos from 15 to 10 days. This system is designed to enhance ease of doing business and improve transparency for taxpayers.
