: From November 18, 2010 to November 18, 2010, the UAE will implement a shopping tax refund policy for overseas tourists!

Attention everyone. After shopping, you need to fill out the tax refund application form and then go to the designated tax refund point to collect the refunded tax. The entire tax refund process is electronic, and the system automatically determines the tax to return to tourists, which is very convenient.

Note: The tax-free label must be verified within 90 days from the date of purchase, otherwise no refund will be issued. For example, if a tourist purchases goods on April 1 and marks them as tax-free, the tax refund can be completed no later than June 29.

What kind of tourists can apply for tax refund?

Non-UAE citizens over the age of 18 can apply for a tax refund. Here, we need to remind you that there are two categories of people who cannot apply for tax refund:

1. Crew members leaving the UAE.

2. Permanent residents studying and conducting academic exchanges in the UAE.

What products can be refunded?

1. Goods exceeding AED 250.

2. Goods that have not been opened and used in the UAE.

3. Goods other than cars, ships and aircraft.

4. Items purchased and carried by tourists themselves.

How much tax can be refunded?

The so-called tax refund is actually value-added tax (VAT). In the UAE, every item includes 5% VAT. According to the UAE’s tax refund policy, 85% VAT, minus a management fee of AED 4.8 per order, will be the final tax refund you can get.

For example, if you buy a 315 dirham product in store A and a 210 dirham product in store B, then only the 315 dirham product in store A can be enjoyed. Tax refund services.

The price of this product after VAT is: DH315/1.05=DH300; VAT is DH315-DH300=Dh15; the final tax refund amount is: Dh15*Dh0.85-Dh4.8=Dh7.95.

Note that if you choose cash tax refund, the maximum cash rebate amount per tourist is AED 10,000. Tax refund fees in excess of this amount will be refunded via credit or debit card.

I believe that if you master this strategy, you will be able to shop well. I wish everyone a happy shopping!
