About Refundit

Refundit aims to change the VAT refund process for good, helping tourists to easily get what is rightfully theirs while stimulating economies and boosting business across Europe.

Our Story

Tax-free shopping is a breeze with Refundit – the app that helps tourists claim their VAT refunds 100% digitally, saving both money and hassle!

Tourists can use Refundit to get their VAT refunds simply by taking photos of their shopping receipts.

Over 50 countries allow tourists to get VAT refunds on purchases they take with them when they return home.

In Europe, VAT on clothing, electronics, toys, etc. ranges between 17% to 27%. And yet close to 90% of the refund entitled to non-EU residents visiting the EU does not reach its destination due to the complicated process.

Refundit can be used for tax-free shopping in all stores (in the countries we operate in) – including small and medium-sized local stores.

Refundit also sets a new standard – with the lowest and most transparent fees: our handling fee is only 9% of the value of your refund, as compared to traditional companies which charge between 30%-60% of the refund.

Governments and Tax Authorities can make use of our advanced management pan-European platform – VATWISE – which enables big data analytics, better fraud prevention capabilities, and much more.

Our founders are long-time passionate entrepreneurs who aspire to empower consumers and save them time and money.
