Tax-Free Shopping

Non-EU residents are entitled to a VAT (Value Added Tax) tax refund with minimum purchase amount of €70,01 (including VAT). Only goods intended for personal or family use are eligible for a VAT refund. Services provided by hotels, restaurants, taxis, or agencies are not eligible. Ask for a valid invoice (fattura in Italian) when shopping. The invoice must include a description of the goods, the purchaser’s personal information, and passport details or an equivalent document. Goods must be stamped by customs agent upon departure no more than three months after the date of purchase. Stamped invoice must be mailed to place of purchase within four months from the date of purchase.
