Tax Refunds when shopping in the EU - VAT refunds

[@youtubeus3rname]

Thank you! Very informative

[@jennelyntanedo4994]

So when arriving to the US for customs, don’t you need to declare them and thus get taxed for imported goods? How does that work?

[@ricardocervantes9058]

Do i have to present the items at the airport?

[@nc8845]

Great info!!

[@roamwithdory]

From Morocco, we got 13% back in tax refund

[@lailaalvarado4813]

If you do the tax refund can you still keep the merchandise?

[@dianwijaya1604]

Hi, I want to ask, when making a transfer, for example a transfer from a bank in the US to a foreign country such as Indonesia, are we required to input the VAT code, IFM code and TAX code? I was asked to input this transaction code

[@himazafar4984]

On grocery and resturant bills, we can also claim our taxes?

[@d.farooq4311]

Can i use the item before claiming the tax refund?

[@Globalrell]

so if i buy something in germany but flying out of italy , can i still claim it in italy?

[@DeniseCoalson]

Is the tax desk prior to checking baggage? I have products over the 3.4 oz requirement. I would normally put in checked bag

[@MaxMilesPoints]

Typically yes it's before you check your bags

Hi. I missed my flight in Germany. Am I allowed to claim my tax refund in Norway? Which is my last destination?

[@mandeep5704]

Yes, germany would have told you to do it at your EU exit point too.

[@saram3112]

Normally they say to get the stamp at your last EU point of departure, but do you know if you have a super short layover also in the EU, can you get it at the first airport?

[@MaxMilesPoints]

Unfortunately no, it’s always last airport of departure out of the EU

I bought a watch from a vintage shop. I got the receipt with the bar code and all that but I didn’t get an envelope or box with my watch we walked out wearing it, will I be fine with just this long receipt at customs

[@halkon4412]

How did it go with customs? Was wondering this as well.

[@hannymary83]

Is there a minimum spend?

[@petruscvrl]

Can you get tax refund from online purchases?

[@Velturias]

Is there a minimum amount you need to qualify for vat? Wondering if general souvenirs would be eligible like a few magnets maybe a mug given they would be less than 5 euro

[@MaxMilesPoints]

there's a minimum amount usually in the hundreds of dollars

[@nabati8903]

Any idea if the same works for Eurostar instead of flights/airports?

[@Dansemacaron]

there is a tax refund at eurostar you can find the instructions if you google

[@unshakeablestar]

If you purchased the same item at the airport duty free shops which would be cheaper in the end?

[@MaxMilesPoints]

Depends on the airport , some airport duty free is a good deal while others are not

[@revaddict]

For Tax refunds we need to pay tax back in home country right?

[@mandeep5704]

Yes, you write down a credit card # and are paid in the native currency as that credit card.

[@kierkegaard7741]

Is it possible to get tax refund even though I did shopping in a different EU country? I bought the items in Italy but I will leave EU from Denmark for example.

[@MaxMilesPoints]

Yup you should get the tax refund from the airport you depart the EU

[@JonGutierrez_]

quick one! how comes you couldn't get the full 19%?

[@MaxMilesPoints]

they always take a percent cut of your refund

[@JonGutierrez_]

@@MaxMilesPoints is there a way to calculate how much ?
