A few useful details
How much could I get back?
A €121 item including 21% VAT contains €21 of VAT—17.36% of its price. Your actual refund depends on eligibility, the applicable VAT rate and any provider fees. Ask us for the amount before buying.
When must I take my purchases home?
Take the goods out of the EU by the end of the third month following the purchase month. Complete Customs validation before departure and keep the goods available for inspection.
What if I leave through another EU country?
Complete validation at your final EU departure point. Bring a printed copy of your Spanish tax-free form for Customs.
Does every purchase qualify?
Eligibility depends on your residence and the goods you buy. Services do not qualify. Residents of the Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla and certain other territories may also qualify under specific rules. Ask our team about your purchase.
