People In Europe Sweep Goods 50%, No Tax Refund, Most People Do Not Understand The Process.

< p > reported that with the continuous growth of outbound tourism in China for ten consecutive years, the consumption of tourists has also soared rapidly, pushing China to become the world's largest international tourism consumer.

According to the latest data released by global blue Union, a professional tax rebate agency for overseas shopping and consumption, the amount of tax rebates purchased by Chinese tourists in Europe has reached a record 3 billion euros, or about 24 billion 400 million yuan, which is worth noting that it accounts for nearly 50% of the total number of tax rebates.

That is to say, Chinese people are crazy about sweeping goods, but nearly 50% do not have tax rebates.

< p > in Europe, value added tax is a kind of tax added to most commodity prices. The tax rate varies in different countries, usually between 18% and 25%, such as Germany, the tax rebate consumption threshold is 25 euros, and the tax rebate rate is 19%.

Non EU residents can apply for the refund of value-added tax, and then duty-free shopping.

< p > however, many Chinese tourists actually do not operate smoothly.

A reporter who interviewed a frequent traveler in Europe said that some tourists were not familiar with the local tax refund process and tax refund point. They did not know much about the knowledge of shopping refund, and the process was somewhat cumbersome.

< /p >

< p > consumer: not too convenient. When I was doing the tax rebate point, there was a man who came to buy the luxuries he bought. But he did not give him a receipt in the luxury store. He said it would not work.

If you take the receipt and go to the customs to seal it, many people can't find the customs and find it. But after work, it will not cover the chapter. This is also a problem.

After finishing the chapter, I have to go back to the store for tax refund. It is impossible for everyone to be familiar with customs and tax refund points for every airport.

To the tax rebate point, you can choose two ways of tax refund, one is cash, the other is on the spot, and the other is playing credit card.

< p > the consumer said that the staff of the customs office had time to rest. If there were no flights at noon or at night, it would be difficult to get a refund.

< /p >

< p > consumers: there are always problems in the last two steps. First, customs do not seal or seal.

The most troublesome problem is that after returning to China, the tax is not returned. It is very troublesome to find it again, because many proofs are gone.

< /p >

< p > to this situation, Li Xin, chief representative of China's Flanders Tourism Bureau, said that the Chinese may not have any tax rebate because of language barriers, airport tax rebate queuing, too long travel time and short travel time, or because the amount of tax rebate is rarely abandoned directly. However, she stressed that, as insiders, the feeling is not as severe as the reported tax rebate of nearly 50%.

< /p >

< p > Li Xin: they are all foreigners. They may not understand what he means, or he thinks there are problems. For example, the list of businessmen has omitted a chapter or something, so the customs will not recognize it.

Some people think that only a dozen Euros can be withdrawn, and it will not cost much.

Another part should be forgotten. Anyway, 50 is a little bit more. I don't think it's too cumbersome because it's too cumbersome.

< /p >

< p > Li Xin said, if it is a group tour, the tour guide will remind and help to handle the tax rebate. Generally, there will be no tax refund.

< /p >

< p > Li Xin: if it is a tour group, the general leaders will remind them that it is very convenient to first build a chapter and then go to the window to get the money.

But when the customs seal you, you need to check. You may need to open the box.

If the flight is concentrated, there will be a queue.

< /p >

< p > people travel to Europe, shopping is one of the main motives. Jiang Haoye, general manager of outbound tourism headquarters of China Travel Shanghai company, said that from the perspective of travel agents, there will be instructions to remind tourists about tax rebates before travel.

< /p >

< p > Jiang Hao: the price of Europe is not cheap, but its tax refund amount is relatively high, including tour guides and tour guides will tell individuals how to complete the tax rebate in the whole process, which is very clear in our whole operation process.

The tax rebate in Europe is very clear, that is, the shopkeeper gives the tax rebate certificate. The customs seal is the last station. One is the check method, and the other is the cash way. More guests will choose the way of cash. The team should not miss the power of tax refund.

< /p >

At present, a big shopping discount season in Europe is coming. During the period, European department stores and brand stores will generally offer 4-6 discount, and many Chinese consumers are already ready to make a move. P

Jiang Hao reminds us that the European tax refund method is relatively complex, and the tax rebate items need to be packed to carry out the luggage. Otherwise, they will not be included in the tax rebate luggage. Before going out, it is best to popularize the common sense of tax rebate, and we can also see some strategies to understand the tax rebate points set up in the European international terminal.

< /p >

< p > Jiang Hao: the whole tax refund method of universal blue Union, though there are offices in China, may not be strong enough. This will lose part of it, and the guests may passively give up.

European countries are actually very small, many of which are turning around, according to the process are generally packaged in the luggage.

Because there are some valuables, guests may be worried about safety. They are always portable. In fact, some of them are also set up.

If it is not packaged, Lee is not included in the tax refund scope.

Why don't we set up one-stop service in shopping shops? Why? P, a frequent overseas shopper, says that this requires manpower and material resources. It is impossible for every shop to set up rebate points. After that, it is also out of consideration that Si is the best way to deal with customs.

< /p >

< p > consumer: Chanel or GUGGI has stores in every big city, but shops only sell, and tax rebates are also troublesome. Not every shop specially sends tax rebates.

Second, it also wants to crack down on Si. If there is no customs seal, buying a lot of things is equivalent to purchasing the kind, so that it will escape customs duties.

On the other hand, this is also the way that luxury stores are willing to do, because it does not want to sell too many things. A person can only buy two bags in six months, all parties have their own consideration.
