What is Tax Free Shopping?

Tax Free shopping means “VAT Refund”. In other words, shopping Tax Free means saving on the purchases you make when travelling to certain countries abroad, as the taxes on certain products will be discounted and returned to you.

Keep in mind that different regulations apply to most Tax Free countries, thus to apply the discount, they may require you to meet a minimum spending in the local currency, either on each product or shop, or on the total of your purchases.

epay Tax Free is here to guide you through – visit the link below to find out what is applicable to your destination country!
