If you are a person residing outside the European Union (resident of the country that is not part of the EU), you have the right to a reimbursement on VAT from the goods you have purchased, if when leaving, you take with you the goods that you bought in the European Union.

* Standard VAT rate in our country is: 20%

(the VAT sum minus the service fee equals the reimbursed amount)
