We add value for retailers and tourists
Shopping tourism in Germany is very popular by travelers and is booming, thus offering the retailer vast business growing opportunities. Due to various reasons, this potential remains partly unused. Tax Free Germany would therefore like to close this loophole by applying its services, which offer non EU-tourists and retailers a considerable VAT.
