Top 5 reasons to use the ZappTax app for hassle-free travel in France

Heard about tax-free shopping? It is the right of any person not residing in the European Union (EU) to recover the VAT from purchases that they take back after their trip. For example, a new phone, sports equipment, jewelry, and clothing coming back with you to the UK. 

To do so, you can use an app, 100% free and easy called ZappTax. Here are 5 reasons why: 

To use the app, you just need to ask the merchant to issue an invoice in the name of ZappTax. Issuing an invoice is a legal obligation for merchants. Thus, ZappTax can be used everywhere, in the 600,000 shops spread across French territory. Even better! The application also works for online purchases. You just need to mention ZappTax in the “billing address” section when ordering online and have it delivered in France. 

ZappTax offers the highest refund rate on the market (15% more than competitors) and on average refunds 85% of the VAT, or even 90% if the total of your purchases exceeds 2500 EUR. 

ZappTax is always by your side throughout your journey. Our teams present on three continents (Europe, South America and Asia) are available 24/7 to answer all your questions. 

ZappTax has launched a new referral program to reward its loyal users. In this program, if you refer a friend to use ZappTax, you will receive €20 as a thank you. Not only that, but the person you referred will also benefit by receiving an extra €5 to use on their next trip. So, it’s a win-win for everyone. Share the benefits of ZappTax with your friends and start earning today!  

With ZappTax, the tax refund form is not issued by the seller. It is created after the purchase, which allows you to group small purchases. So you don’t need to reach the minimum amount of 100 euros for each purchase. It is enough that the total of your purchases submitted via the application for the same trip exceeds this amount. 

BONUS : Also works in Belgium and Spain  

The service is not only available in France! You can also use the application for all your purchases in Belgium and Spain, which allows you to save even outside France.
