Why tourists can enjoy tax-free shopping in France?

In most countries, the price of goods will include value-added tax (VAT), which is automatically added to your shopping, and can be as much as 20-25% of the original price 😱.

Luckily, if you're shopping abroad and take your purchases home with you to enjoy, you're eligible for a VAT refund. Think of it as duty-free shopping at airports, except now you can do it in the city in most stores too. After Brexit, British travellers can also claim a VAT refund on purchases made in France!

Wevat is coming to digitalize the process so you can get more money back and enjoy a hassle-free experience. Follow the 3 easy steps in the app and save 13% on your shopping.
