It's never been this Easy! Tax free shopping in 4 simple steps:

#1 UPLOAD RECEIPTS Take full clear pictures of your Airvat invoices as soon as you make purchases. We will process them for you into a single VAT refund form to be validated at Сustoms.

#3 VALIDATE YOUR TAX FORM Scan your tax-free form’s barcode from your phone to validate your refund. Follow the instructions in the app and allow at least 2 hours before your departure to avoid rushing. Note that in the case of Northern Ireland (UK), you will still need to print a paper VAT refund form in order to get a manual stamp.

User Reviews

Airvat is praised for being easy to use, fast to refund, and backed by strong, responsive support. It also streamlines multi-receipt VAT claims on a single form and offers helpful traveler guidance. Common drawbacks include the need for printing at times, concerns over admin/PayPal fees and transparency, and occasional friction with merchants who must provide Airvat invoices. Overall it’s reliable and efficient, but users should prepare for printing hassles and potential fee deductions.

Pros

Very easy to use with a user-friendly interface
Excellent, responsive customer service that helps quickly
Fast refund processing and overall quick turnaround
Efficient handling of multiple receipts on one form, reducing manual paperwork and chasing merchants
Helpful guidance for travelers (including non-French speakers) that makes VAT refunds easier

Cons

Printing forms can be required; dependence on having a printer at the airport can cause hassles (noted when no printer available)
Fees and transparency concerns: admin fee deducted from refunds and PayPal refunds can reduce the amount returned, with unclear upfront disclosure in some cases
Invoicing friction: merchants must issue invoices to Airvat, which can be a hassle or lead to rejected invoices

Recent reviews

App would not correctly take a jpg of my invoice. It cut off part of it although appeared to have captured it. Tried converting my iPhone jpg to a PDF, the only other format accepted and it wouldn’t accept that either. Frustrating. At least customer service responded quickly but I was stressed that I wouldn’t lose my refund. AND! Read the fine print. You are entitled to a 20% VAT refund. Part of that refund will be retained by the app.

Super easy to use and more effective than the competition, great speed for the refund. Thank you.

It’s a bit of a hassle to get each merchant to make an invoice out to Airvat, but the experience using the app and scanning the barcode at the airport was super simple. Their support team was also very prompt with helping me with some issues.
