What is tax-free shopping?

Tax-free shopping provides an advantageous opportunity for individuals residing outside of Europe to reclaim the Value Added Tax (VAT) incurred when buying goods within the European Union (EU). Usually located around 20%, embracing tax-free shopping allows you to gain back this expense, making up for significant savings during visits to the continent lasting less than six months. It’s truly a remarkable offer, enabling you to enjoy your shopping experience while keeping more money in your pocket.
