For the customers having ordered and paid on the equi-bride.com website, the VAT refund is possible mainly by bank transfer. To do so, for each order, send by mail the VAT number and attach a copy of one of the company's documents where this code is mentioned (letterhead, customer invoice or blank order, ...)
