DAVIS Menswear are pleased to offer TAX FREE shopping to any clients living in a country outside the EU VAT area. The client pays the VAT on goods in the shop in the usual way, and can request a refund when exporting the goods. To qualify, the traveller must:
- have residency in a non-EU country
- have a maximum stay of 6 months within the EU
- make purchases no more than three months prior to export
- obtain a form from the shop where he makes the purchase
- present the form, and in certain cases the goods, to a customs officer when leaving the EU, where they will be stamped
Only goods meant for personal use are eligible for the refund. The stamped forms and receipts can then be sent back to the retailers, or their agents, for a refund.
In most cases, a minimum purchase applies to use the tax-free shopping scheme. The actual amount of VAT reclaimable depends on the VAT rate applicable in the particular country to the goods purchased, and may be subject to a deduction for administration fees.
If DAVIS Menswear is exporting to goods to the client outside EU VAT area we will organize and stamp the tax form and refund the VAT back to the same card or payment method used to pay for the goods. |
