What is TAX FREE?

Tax Free - the refund system of value added tax (VAT) on purchases for non-commercial purposes made by foreign citizens.

With the help of this service tax will be paid to non-residents at the airport when leaving the country in which they purchased goods at the stores that have the Tax Free logo.

We would like to note that when customers use Tax Free services, many of them face some inconveniences:

1. During a trip to Europe, if the customer makes purchases within a specified minimum amount a store employees fill out a Tax Free declaration form. For each country there is a minimum amount for a declaration. This limit varies from country to country. For example, in the Czech Republic this limit is it $ 100.

2. Operators carrying out Tax Free service at the airport seize high of commission for the service and for the conversion. As a result, customers receive a lower amount than subject to the VAT refund percentage.

3. When the VAT refund customers lose a lot of time in queues.
