While many countries have stopped the tax refund for tourists, Italy have an efficient system to refund tourists for their purchases.
Sales over €155 are applicable for tax refunds between 11.6 - 15.5% (depending on value of sale). Shops electronically register the sale and provide documentation to validate at the departure tax free office, your refund is credited to your credit card within 2 weeks (from our experience). There are also cash refund options at airports or ATM's in some areas. It's a very simple hassle free process.
So it's time to book your shopping trip to Florence!!!
Shop for jewellery on Ponte Vecchio, stroll through the medieval streets of Via dei Tornabuoni hosting some of the most famous designer boutiques, enjoy the designer stores at The Mall Firenze or visit the village at Barberino Designer Outlet
