How to get tax free at the airport of Rome

If you are not a citizen of one of the Schengen countries, then when shopping at Roman outlets or shopping centers you have the opportunity to save on the return of value added tax (VAT). Agree that it is nice to get a discount on purchased goods of about 10-12%.
To return the free dues after shopping in Rome you need to fulfill several conditions:

  • Make a purchase in one store for more than 100 euros;
  • To issue at the time of purchase the return of the tax free in the form of a special form;
  • Spend about 10-15 minutes on registration at the Fiumicino airport;
  • Wait a week for a refund to the card, or pick up a slightly smaller amount on the spot.

As a result, to complete all the procedures you have to leave the hotel about an hour earlier. We recommend ordering a transfer in Rome from a friend of our editorial office, Sergio, at ru.rome4.us

This instruction will allow you to better understand the process of registration of dachshunds and hopefully save time.
