When combined with Dynamic Currency Conversion from Elavon, the Tax Free Shopping Service automatically recognises cardholders who are eligible for international tax refunds.  It enables customers who are non-EU residents to reclaim international tax duties on the purchase of goods using all major credit and debit cards 

• Offering the Tax Free service means that tourists are more likely to shop at your store and in most cases will spend the savings made in the store
• Tourists in most cases will spend more on average than domestic customers

How does tax free shopping work?

• Shop: With an Elavon point-of-sale device, customers who are eligible for inTternational tax refunds are automatically recognised and provided with the information needed to reclaim international tax duties on the purchase of goods
• Stamp: At the airport or port, customers go to the Customs desk and present their completed Tax Free Form, passport, receipts and purchases to get a stamp on their form.  Goods should be available for inspection, unused and with the original receipts
• Claim: At a desk or office displaying a Tax Free (Global Blue) logo. In some cases this will be a currency exchange.  Customers present their stamped, completed Tax Free Form to receive the refund in cash or to their credit card.
