Many friends may not have heard of Munich, but there are actually many places worth seeing here. In this article, the editor will tell you how to get a tax refund after shopping here. Can I get a tax refund at the airport after shopping at theMall in Munich?

Tax refund should be processed at the last airport before departure in the Schengen area, so there is nothing wrong with processing it in Munich.

First of all, two tips about shopping:

1. If the clerk fills out the tax refund form, be sure to check whether the name is written correctly, because the spelling of Chinese names is difficult for Europeans. It is extremely difficult to speak, and I often make mistakes. If the names on the tax refund form are inconsistent, the tax refund will not be possible;

2. The receipt will be taken away during tax refund. If you need to keep the receipt, you need to ask the store clerk for an additional copy.

Let’s talk about tax refunds. The Lufthansa flight we took departed from Munich Airport T2.

Tax refund process: apply for boarding pass--checked baggage stamped by customs--checked baggage--(get money at the tax refund company window)--security check--go through customs--(shopping at airport stores)-- Carry-on baggage stamped - take money at the tax refund company window

Before the security check:

1. As soon as you enter T2, you can see the counter of Lanlian on the far left, and the customs office is right next to Lanlian Behind the check-in counter, you can see it by walking in from the left side of the Blue Check-in counter;

2. You must apply for a boarding pass first (but not check in your luggage), and then you can go to customs to have your boarding pass stamped. . If it is a Lufthansa ticket, there is a self-service check-in machine as soon as you enter the door, which is very convenient;

3. You can only apply for tax refund for checked baggage outside the security check. Although every airport has such regulations, but before in Paris , Zurich, London and other airports are not particularly entangled. Only the Germans are particularly strict. For example, the Rimowa box I carry must be stamped at the office inside the security check;

4. Completed You can take money at the window with a stamp, and you can take cash, refund credit card or Alipay. The handling fee for cash less than 10 euros is 3 euros, and the handling fee for more than 10 euros is 5%; credit card refunds are settled according to the default currency of the card issuer and the exchange rate specified by the tax refund company. If the credit card itself is US dollars, the exchange rate will lose a lot. It is said that Alipay's exchange rate will be better, but I haven't calculated it carefully. Students who are concerned can consult the company to which they belong for tax refund. Keep the receipts for credit card refunds and Alipay records, and you can check them if you don't receive them.

After security check:

1. After passing through customs after security check, you can apply for tax refund for hand luggage. The office is opposite boarding gate 29;

2 , the physical objects may be inspected, and the items stamped inside must be placed in the hand luggage;

3. All shops at Munich Airport are not directly tax-free, and all require full payment - stamped by the tax refund office - - Go back to the store to get the money, and the store will deduct a 4% handling fee; considering this, it is recommended that you finish shopping and handle the tax refund for your hand luggage together if time allows. I didn’t plan to get stamped several times, and the customs staff The handsome guy was speechless to me.

4. Turn your back to the Customs Office and go to the right to see the Blue Union Office. The precautions are the same as point 5 above.

If it is checked luggage, it needs to be stamped at the customs between Italy and Switzerland, because the luggage is not with you when you transfer, so you cannot stamp it during the transfer; if it is hand luggage, it needs to be stamped in Munich Airport stamping, the customs office in Munich Airport is opposite gate 29.

Because you have to get off the bus at the border station to have your tax refund stamped at the Italy-Switzerland border, it is recommended to put all the things that need tax refund in your hand luggage and apply for tax refund in Munich.

Tax refund is divided into many steps. The most important step (and the irreparable step missed) is the border customs stamp. Here we introduce the stamping place.

As for where to find a tax refund company to ask for money, you can apply for it at the international transit area of ??the airport. If the transfer time is short, you can also go back to your country to apply for it (see the tax refund company website such as globalblue), like the

Malls and other large commercial entities also have their own procedures for handling tax refunds and getting money.

The

The logic of tax refund processing in commercial centers such as the mall is that you can first take the money at the tax refund counter, but you need a credit card guarantee. If you don’t get a stamp and vote at the border, If you send it back to the tax refund company through the mailbox, your credit card will be fined, which is equivalent to no money being refunded.
