To get a VAT refund after leaving Europe, you typically need to follow these steps:
- Shop at stores that participate in the VAT refund scheme and ask for a tax refund form when making your purchase.
- Fill out the form with your personal information and make sure to get it stamped by customs when leaving the EU.
- Present the stamped form to the store or a tax refund agency to receive your refund, usually through a credit card refund or cash at the airport.
Make sure to keep all receipts and documentation to support your claim.
