WELCOME TRAVELLERS
Get your money back
Millions of
tourists visiting Greece this year will leave unclaimed
a record of EURO in Value Added Taxes (V.A.T) paid on
items they bring home. These are collected by the country,
as it has been done in many countries around the world
for years.
Travelers residents of non European Union countries
are entitled to claim back the tax for goods purchased
during their stay as long as these goods are exported
within three months after the purchase date, in their
hand luggage and if they spend more than 120 € in one
shop in one day. Don't leave your money behind!
 There
are many ways to get your tax refund.
