The announcement introduces non-EU residents visiting France to a quick and paperless way for them to claim their VAT (Value-Added Tax) refunds and save up to 13 percent on their purchases. The app has to date helped travelers in 88 countries and issues refunds in 50 different currencies with just a tap of the traveler’s phone.
Whether shopping in France in store or online, users upload invoices issued to them from the point of purchase for storage on their phones. Upon exiting France the user scans a barcode summarizing the total refund they’re due at a Wevat-supported departure point to generate the refund process.
Refunds can be issued by credit card, bank transfer, Alipay, or WeChat pay. Users can monitor the refund process using the app’s tracker feature and can request support at any time from the company’s multilingual customer team….
