Salex Tax

TAX IS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE PRICE

Unlike in other countries where the final price that you see on food, clothes etc is the price without tax, in Italy there is no such thing. The price you see if exactly how much you need to pay, the tax is already included.

USEFUL TIPS FOR TOURISTS IN ITALY

Italy VAT refund:
If you visit Italy and you purchase items for a value over 175 € from a certain shop, you may be able to get a VAT refund once you come back to your country.
You will need to:

• Save the receipt for the goods you bought

• Having your airplane or travel back tickets ready to show

• Carry the items with you without giving them to a third person

• Go to a Italy’s VAT refund station (mostly located in airports, tourist points or travel hubs)

In general, 175€ is the minimum purchase amount to request a tax refund, but it can vary according to the country you are bringing the items to. In many European Union’s countries this threshold is actually lower.
If you do everything correctly you will receive a custom stamp for the items you purchased and you will get money at the refund station via cash and bank transfer.
