I am traveling. I am not a citizen of the EU. I purchased Airpods via apple website and got it delivered to my hotel in Rome, Italy. Now I have to go back after two days and want to know how can I get VAT refund on this purchase.
I tried emailing on vat.refund@apple.com as mention in one of the community posts but the email just bounced back, because it's not a valid email address.
If anyone here has tried, please help me out.
We are all other users and have no idea if the store cooperates with Global Blue. You need to ask the store.
Apple does not export and does not send taax forms. And, there are no email addresses published.
Got the following information in case of online shopping:
* The retailer has also a regular shop, not only e-commerce;
* Shop cooperates with Global Blue;
* The shopper orders the goods online and gets it delivered to an address in the purchased country;
* The shopper must ask the shop to issue a Tax Free Form under the shopper's details and send it with the delivery;
* The shopper has to export the goods personally and obtain the export validation;
* The shopper is eligible to claim VAT on the bases of his/her residence.
How do I ask Apple to send the Tax-Free Form along with the delivery? Did not find any option while placing the order. Do they have any email address for that?
Contact the tax authorities in Italy.
