Look for stores displaying Global Blue Tax Free Shopping signage in the window.
When paying for your purchases ask the shop staff for a Tax Free Form.
Remember: Incomplete Tax Free Form = No refund
At the airport or the port please allow enough time for the refund process before your flight or ship departs.
Before you check in for your journey, go to the Customs desk and present your completed Tax Free Form, receipts, passport, purchases and credit card to get a stamp on your form and get your refund transferred to your credit card.
Don’t pack goods away in your check-in luggage as you will need to show them to the Customs Officer.
ADDITIONAL STAMPING : NO
Remember: No Customs Stamp = No Refund
NB: The refund you receive is the VAT minus Global Blue’s service fee.
