- The deadline to provide proof of goods leaving the EU for tax free shopping has been extended from 4 to 6 months by the 2026 Budget Law.
- This extension applies to both VAT exemption at the time of sale and VAT refund procedures.
- The new 6-month term applies to sales made from January 1, 2026.
- If proof is not provided within 6 months, the seller must regularize the transaction or confirm its taxability, depending on the VAT procedure used.
- All other conditions for tax free shopping (minimum purchase, personal use, export within 3 months, invoice requirements) remain unchanged.
