User Reviews

Users generally find the Wevat Tax Refund app easy to use and appreciate the responsive customer service and simplified refund process compared to traditional methods. The app allows for quick invoice approvals and supports various types of purchases. However, several users report long wait times for refunds and occasional technical issues such as lost application data. Support limitations exist for countries outside of France, and some customs or retailers lack awareness of the process, causing difficulties in validation at departure points.

Pros

Easy to use with clear instructions and a straightforward tax refund process.
Responsive and helpful customer service available via in-app chat.
Smooth electronic refund process with updates and tracking of refund status.
Faster and simpler compared to traditional detaxe procedures, allowing for invoice approvals quickly.
Supports multiple stores and facilitates claiming VAT on various purchases including food, alcohol, and goods.

Cons

Delays in receiving tax refunds, sometimes taking up to three months or longer.
App or system glitches such as deletion of applications or chat histories, causing user concern.
Limited usability for countries outside France with poor or unreachable support for those cases.
Certain retailers and customs can be uncooperative or unaware of the refund procedure, making the process challenging.
Inconsistent or problematic refund validation at airports or border checkpoints due to lack of clear kiosks or staff knowledge.

Recent reviews

They didn't process my refund saying there's been some issue and that I'll only get my vat refund 3 months after leaving EU. Once I logged in after 3 months, I find that they've deleted all my chats with the support team and are showing Zero Euros as refund value on the trip. Totally unprofessional crook app. Please don't use it.
