Tax free refund in Istanbul, Turkey

Hi there,


I will visit Istanbul in May, or June and I wanted to buy from an Apple Store, the MacBook Pro M1 Max 16" and I wanted to know if anyone else bought a MacBook Pro, or any other Apple device and then claimed the tax when left Turkey.


What is the process? Can I do this by myself? The tax refund percentage is 18%?


Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply, but it doesn't really answer my question, as I know about these 2 companies that they help facilitate the Tax Free program, but from what I know, not all the stores accept Tax Free shopping and what I want to know, is if Apple does this or not.

Thank you.
