Global Blue Tax Free in Lofoten

Global Blue Tax Free is a tax refund service that allows international shoppers to claim back the Value Added Tax (VAT) paid on their purchases when they leave a country. The service is available in over 50 countries and is particularly popular in Europe, where VAT can be as high as 25% in some countries.

To use the service, international shoppers must first look for stores displaying the Global Blue Tax Free Shopping logo and make purchases that qualify for tax refunds. When making the purchase, the shopper will receive a Tax Free Form from the retailer, which they need to fill out with their personal details and passport information.

When the shopper is ready to leave the country, they present their purchases and the completed Tax Free Form to a Global Blue affiliated Customs Officer who will stamp the form. The shopper can then return the form to Global Blue to claim their refund, either online or in person at a Global Blue refund point.

Global Blue Tax Free allows international shoppers to save money on their purchases and is a popular service for tourists and business travelers.
