Iphone VAT refund

I am currently in the Netherlands, and I wish to buy iPhone and receive a tax refund because I have non-EU citizenship. How can I do that?

While processing the transaction in the store, you should have indicated that you want to receive the tax back.

You will then get a written statement for request refund paid tax, together with the invoice. 

Then you can get the tax amount back at a special counter at the airport.

There is a chance that you will have to pay tax on arrival in your home country, depending on import duties and customs clearance costs.


To be sure, you should ask the store where you purchase the iPhone, how that works.

Rules are often changed.
