TaxFree4U tells travelers how to save money on Europe travel, to help you travel more frequently, to more places and spend less!

TaxFree4U - online service to get your VAT refund - was created for beneficial shopping in the European Union. The startup appeared on the VAT refund market in 2015.

Having concentrated its activities in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, TaxFree4U reimburses non-EU residents up to 19 percent VAT for purchases in these countries. In 2017 the advantages of shopping with TaxFree4U will be available to non-EU residents in another 3 destinations – Finland, Austria and Poland.

The objective of the TaxFree4U team was not only the optimization of the refund process, but also the implementation of innovations, one of which was a possibility to consolidate several receipts into a single declaration; it allows to overcome the minimum receipt amount, specified for each separate country.

The TaxFree4U mobile app for iOS and Android platforms is a tool that allows the client to get the VAT refund within 48 hours, after completing only 5 steps: upload photos of receipts into the app, receive the completed VAT refund form, get a stamp from the Customs officer on the form, and send it together with the originals of receipts to the TaxFree4U office.

The major benefits of TaxFree4U are enrollment of funds on card within 48 hours, possibility to upload receipts into the app instead of time-consuming completion of VAT refund forms in each shop, faultless completion of VAT refund forms by experts of the company instead of the client, and consolidation of the amounts on receipts into a single VAT refund form.

The service is actively used by more than 20,000 users around the world, but most of the customers are from the CIS, the countries of Asia and the Middle East. The service is automated and has a low commission, because the mobile format allows you to exclude a lot of costs.

The work of regional offices of the company is provided by more than 90 employees.
