According to the different policies of different countries, the tax rates of value-added tax and consumption tax are generally 5%-25%, and we apply for consumption tax refund at the airport tax refund office (note: we will deduct a certain handling fee from the tax we get).

Different countries have different tax refund policies. Most countries have a "minimum tax refund", and not all goods can be refunded at will. Many people saw "duty-free" and swept the goods crazily, thinking that they had made a fortune, but only when they got the tax refund did they know that some goods could not be returned.

EU tax rebate is the last EU country for tourists to leave. For example, if the itinerary is: France-Italy-Spain-China, then things bought in France and Italy before will be refunded in Spain together with the tax bill. The tax refund procedure is valid within 90 days before departure, but in some shopping malls, it is necessary to open a tax refund form together with the shopping receipt of the day.

tax-free

1, there are three steps to buy duty-free goods:

(1) Find the duty-free shop;

(2) choose your favorite goods;

(3) Show the tourist's passport and boarding pass and pay.

The clerk will seal the things bought in the airport duty-free shop with transparent bags and give them to tourists. You can't open this, otherwise you can't enjoy tax exemption.

3. If you buy more liquid in the duty-free shop than the amount specified by the airline, you can take it directly on the plane, but if you need to transfer midway, even if the goods are sealed, you still need to check it again.

4. Go through the formalities of tax refund before shipping. Make sure that the tax refund items are in your luggage. Even if it passes the customs security check, the customs can still transfer the tourists' luggage to check the tax refund form before boarding the plane. If the refunded goods cannot be checked, you will be fined. In France, it is 654.38+00,000 euros.
