From April 1-st,2013 there are changes regarding the VAT REFUND to tourists from third countries ( i.e. outside of the EU).

lt is no longer possible to use the old form where the customers filled their name , address, passport number themselves.

So that we are able to complete the VAT REFUND form correctly we need to verify the details from the passport of the person who will export the goods out of the EU.

When you leave the EU, show to the custom officer on the EU border the goods, the passport and the VAT refund document.

The custom officer will stamp the VAT refund - první vyhotovení dokladu o prodeji zboží" document. When you send the VAT refund document back to us with a letter in which you ask the refund of the VAT on your bank

account then we will simply transfer the VAT to your bank account.
