What does the Sunat tax refund consist of?

The Sunat ex officio refund is an automated process that reimburses excessive or improper payments directly, without the taxpayer having to submit a formal request. This system benefits those who have submitted their Annual Income Tax Return and registered deductible expenses, supported by electronic receipts associated with their RUC or DNI.
