Hello, We are company based in EU with UK VAT. Currently we are waiting for some VAT repayment and I am wondering is it possible to claim it back directly to our EU Bank account? I tried to update company's bank details at HMRC web-site but it looks like it is possible to inform only for UK bank format.

Visit this link https://www.gov.uk/vat-repayments#:~:text=You%20must%20fill%20in%20a,or%20update%20your%20bank%20details. Scroll down to the bottom section "repayments to an overseas bank account" and there is a link to "fil in a form", click that link and you are taken to your government gateway login screen, log into your government gateway and the form will then appear, asking you details of your EU bank, IBAN, etc. You cannot change the bank details via the normal government gateway link, that is designed only for UK bank details (sort code/account number), there is no facility to input an IBAN or BIC....but follow the instructions above and you can update using an IBAN, HMRC process these forms manually and so takes 2-3 days for confirmation.
