Tax refund premise
1) Not everyone can get a tax refund?
Only tourists who have permanent residency outside the EU, that is, they must be non-EU residents and at least 16 years old, can get the tax refund.
2) How much euros should I spend to qualify for tax refund?
When non-EU tourists travel in the EU, you have the right to apply for tax refund in France when they buy a certain amount of goods and take them out of the EU.
European countries have price restrictions on tax rebates. The minimum consumption in France (including TVA VAT) 175.05438+0, and the VAT rate is generally 16.38.
%, the tax refund is the value-added tax minus the management fee, which is about 12%.
3) What is the consumption that can enjoy tax refund?
It says "TaxFreeShopping", "TaxRefund" or "EuroFree".
Goods such as taxes purchased in shops marked with tax refund can enjoy tax refund service.
4) Not everything can be returned?
First of all, the biggest premise is that only goods that can be taken out of the country in person can apply for tax refund.
What do you mean, personally? To put it bluntly, you should show these things to the customs when you refund the tax!
Bian Xiao's friend lost Jingzhou here. Because there are too many things, she mailed some of the things she bought back to China, thinking about the final direct tax refund. And! For convenience, she checked her luggage first and then went to apply for tax refund. Bian Xiao was really embarrassed about her ... So, when the tax refund was made, the customs had to check the items refunded, and there was nothing! Lost tens of thousands, crying to the ground!
Followed by some non-refundable goods, such as tobacco, medicines, automobiles and auto parts, weapons, cultural relics over 50 years, stamps, etc.
Tax refund method 1. cash
Cash tax refund: 10.8%
You can refund euros or RMB. The RMB amount of tax refund is converted into RMB according to the exchange rate provided by the tax refund point and the euro amount of tax refund.
It is generally not recommended to change to RMB, because the exchange rate provided by the tax refund point is always lower than the real-time exchange rate, and there will be some losses in the middle.
Tax refund points can be found in international airports, local cooperative tax refund points and individual large shopping malls (such as Lafayette).
If you choose this tax refund method, you need to show a credit card consistent with your passport as a guarantee when you take cash.
If there is no departure inspection within the specified time, the tax refund amount will be deducted from the guaranteed credit card and a certain fine will be charged.
2. Credit card
Credit card tax refund: 12%
The credit card tax rebate rate will be higher than the cash tax rebate, but the only drawback is that it will take about two months to receive the tax rebate after returning home. When choosing a tax refund credit card, the consumer credit card and the tax refund credit card are not necessarily the same card. Please fill in the card number of that card on the tax refund form. Generally, it will be more cost-effective to choose a dual-currency card or an international credit card, because the tax obtained from the consumption tax rebate in Europe is settled in euros.
Tax refund steps 1. Merchant's Office | Received the tax refund form.
When paying for consumption, customers need to ask the store for a tax refund form in triplicate and an envelope corresponding to the company. Merchants will ask tourists to provide passport information and then make a tax refund application form.
This step is to choose the tax refund method of tax refund. Cash refund or credit card refund. Once selected, it cannot be changed.
After the clerk fills in the form, one copy is kept by the merchant, and the other two copies are presented to the customs officers together with the goods when the consumer leaves the country.
When you receive the tax refund application form issued by the cashier, remember to check whether the personal information and shopping/tax refund amount on the form are correct. If you find any mistakes, please ask the cashier to correct them before you leave. Because if the personal information of tourists is incorrect, the tax refund company cannot apply for tax refund.
Some information needs to be filled in by yourself, which can be completed according to the following instructions.
2. Airport | Customs Seal
No customs stamp = no tax refund! The tax refund office only looks at the tax refund form with the official seal of the customs, otherwise it is impossible.
De Gaulle's tax refund points are as follows:
Show your tax refund form, passport, purchased goods, e-ticket or boarding pass to the customs before boarding the plane to get the customs seal.
Customs officers will stamp the tax refund form, one of which will be sent back to the tax refund company in an envelope, and the third will be kept by the customer himself.
If the PABLO logo is printed on the tax refund form, you can also go to the PABLO machine next to the customs office to scan your tax refund form for exit customs verification.
The scanned tax refund form is equivalent to stamping the official seal of the customs, and there is no need to queue up at the customs gate or show the purchased products to the customs.
For example, Lafayette has its own tax refund office. On the day of purchase, the tourists have completed all the tax refund procedures at Galeries Lafayette and received the money. All they have to do is put the barcode of the tax bill on PABLO's machine and scan it.
If the tax refund form is verified successfully (message on the screen: OK), you can register at the tax refund point and refund the tax.
After the customs stamps, if you choose to return the credit card, you only need to put the tax refund form in the corresponding envelope and keep the copy as a voucher. If there is no copy, the tax refund form of the same company can be put in the same envelope and then put into the mailbox.
You can also put it in Laposte's yellow mailbox.
But if it doesn't pass the verification (there will be a warning message on the screen), you must go to the customs to get the customs seal.
The manual tax refund window starts at 8: 00 in the morning. If you still want to get cash from the airport, it is recommended to arrive at the airport three to four hours in advance. Because there are only three windows for cash. If you exchange euros, there is only one, and the other two are non-euros.
3. Airport, merchants | collect money
As I said before, there will be some losses if it is not the euro cash tax rebate. So it's best to find a place to refund euros and just look for Travelex. In Terminal 2, at Gate 1, Paul.
The dining room is on the left. A handling fee of 3 euros will be charged for each tax refund form. For the guests whose tax refund amount is less than 5 euros in a single tax refund form, 10 euros, it is suggested that you don't waste that time queuing for cash, just write down the credit card number and return the card.
FAQ 1) If you leave the EU after connecting through another EU member state, how do you go through the customs clearance verification procedures?
If you want to continue traveling or transfer to another EU country, you only need to ask the customs staff to stamp the tax refund application form when you leave the last EU country. You can't get the customs stamp when you leave the first EU country. For example, if you return from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, but you need to transfer from Germany, you need to apply for tax refund in Germany.
2) If you fail to apply for cash or credit card tax refund at the local airport in time after stamping the customs tax refund counter, can you remedy it after returning to China?
If the counter of the tax refund company is closed in the middle of the night or early morning because of catching a plane or flight, GlobalBlue
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong all have cash refund points. As long as you keep the documents of consumption in Europe and the tax refund form of GlobalBlue, you can go to the domestic tax refund point to apply for cash tax refund.
Experience summary 1) Since last week, Galeries Lafayette's group tax refund is no longer in the ordinary tax refund office, but in a new place. It's next to Sephora, the new lafayette Tax Refund Office.
2) When shopping, you need to bring your passport and credit card as a guarantee. The credit card used for guarantee should be the same as the name on the passport.
3) Be sure to apply for tax refund on the day of shopping.
4) Put the goods that need to be refunded in a place where the suitcase is easy to take out, so as to avoid wasting boarding time in the spot check.
5) Try to apply for tax refund at the airport in advance, and it is reasonable to do it three to four hours in advance.
6) Conditionally copy and take photos of all tax refund documents.
7) No stamp is required for the delivery of the tax bill envelope.
8) If you choose to go to Galeries Lafayette and Paris Shopping Center for tax refund in spring, you must ensure that the tax refund form will be sent to the designated place within 2 1 day from the date of shopping (the address is indicated on the tax refund form, which can be delivered directly), or you will be fined 3%.
9) When changing boarding passes, don't check the baggage with tax refund items first, and then check the baggage after the tax refund is completed.
