With the expansion of China's openness and the improvement of the living standards, there will be more and more opportunities for people to go out of the country.

If you have the chance to travel to the European Union countries and buy some articles in these countries, you can enjoy the right to refund VAT on purchases according to the EU regulations.

But if you want to get the tax rebate smoothly, you must pay attention to the following matters:

First, don't forget to ask the waiter to make a "tax-free cheque" when shopping.

When you purchase goods at the duty free shop in the European Union, you should ask the waiter to open a "tax-free cheque" and ask him to fill in the address (city, street, house number) and passport number on the duty-free check.

Everything purchased must be specified in duty-free checks or invoices.

If written on the invoice, the salesperson must attach the invoice to the attached list below the cheque (the invoice is not allowed to be separated from the check).

The amount of tax rebate you can get from the EU countries is stated on the tax-free cheque.

In order to avoid problems arising from leaving the European Union, you'd better keep the tax-free checks together with the invoice. The best way is to put it in your passport so that you can not forget it.

Under normal circumstances, only a central collection office or a special department in the customer service department can be placed in a large store for tax-free checks.

Therefore, when you shop, you'd better consult the cashier.

In addition to tax-free cheque, you should get a checklist of cash payment at the same time, which is good for shopping tax refund in EU countries.

Two, when you are ready to leave the European Union directly by air, you must submit the goods and duty-free cheques to the frontier customs inspection seal before leaving the country as proof of the export of the goods.

After leaving the European Union, it is impossible to stamp the EU customs seal in other countries.

In order to overcome the distance between the departments of the big airport, there are at least 30 minutes to arrange for customs marking and tax refund.

For purchased items, if placed in your carry on luggage, when you leave the last stop of the European Union, please show your purchases at the exit customs for customs inspection.

If you place the shopping item in the trunk, you must confirm it to the customs officer at the customs of the shopping nation and seal the Customs at the customs.

If a customs seal is not added to the duty free cheque at the customs of the shopping nation, the stamp may also be affixed to the customs of other European Union countries.

Three, when you leave the EU country by ship, you should look for the local customs authorities before you embark, where you can produce the purchased items and ask for the certificate of goods (that is, the customs seal is added to the tax-free cheque).

Four, if you leave the European Union by train, you should look for the local customs authorities at the departure train station and ask them to cover the Shanghai seal on the tax-free check.

Five. After the customs seal is added to the tax-free cheque, you can get the tax refund in the cash payment Office of the duty free shop in the European Union and get the currency you want.

The cash payment Department of duty free shops is set up on all the important highways in European Union.

If you do not have time to check out or do not find the cash payment point of the duty-free shop, or when the cash payment office has worked, you can also send the duty-free cheques stamped with the customs seal and the exact instructions of your credit card account: EUROPA TAX-FREE SHOPPING PROCESSING CENTER TRUBELGASSE 19, A-1030 WIEN, AUSTRIA can also get the tax refund for your purchase.

Six, in order to get tax rebates, the EU countries also have provisions on the time from shopping to export.

The interval between the date of purchase and the date of customs seal is not allowed to exceed 3 months.

The calculation is based on the end of the month of shopping month, that is to say, if you purchase the goods in March 1st, as long as you take it out of the country before June 30th, it will meet the time limit for refund of value-added tax.
