 . VAT refunds - cheaper prices !
>> The prices of certain products available in Thailand are already very attractive, but if on top of that, the customer can get a refund on the 7% sales tax, shopping becomes even more of a pleasure. If you comply with the few simple rules, getting your refund is easy, quick and can be done at the Tourist Office Revenue Department in Bangkok or at the airport before leaving the country.

Almost anyone can take advantage of this service, you just need to follow a few conditions. Visitors must not have stayed in Thailand for more than 180 days in a calendar year, cannot be an employee of an airline and must depart the country from the international airport. Purchases must be made in shops displaying the 'VAT refund for Tourists' sign. Reimbursements to tourists must be within 60 days of the date of purchase, on individual goods costing over 2,000 Baht and the total cost of goods must exceed 5,000 Baht. It's important to note that the procedure starts from the moment of purchase, when the customer must show his/her passport and complete an application form (P.P.10) to which the original tax invoice must be attached.

Claiming for your refund is relatively easy. Go to the VAT Refund office at the airport or the Tourist Office Revenue Department in Bangkok, show your passport, the application form and the goods invoice. Make sure that nothing is missing or your refund will be refused. (/LA)
