# Refund

When Plane returns funds back to your company, we will do that through a `Refund` object.
You can think of refunds as inverse charges, or as a `Payment` where the recipient is your company, not one of your workers.

Refunds are most commonly used when you create a `Payment` and subsequently cancel it, after the `Charge`
linked to that `Payment` already started to process.
