Rome : VAT Refunds

No one has rated this yet.

Rate it

Italy’s Value Added Tax (IVA) is a sales tax already added on to the sticker price of every item. If you are a non-EU resident and spend more than €155 in a single shop, you can get the tax refunded. Ask the store to help you fill out the forms; then take these and the receipts to the customs office at the airport of the last EU country you’ll be visiting to complete the paperwork. Your refund will be posted but it may take months. Stores marked “Tax-Free Shopping for Tourists” speed up the process, giving you a cheque for the customs office to stamp, then you redeem it at the airport’s Tax-Free Shopping desk.
