Ideal way to receive VAT back once Levine France and when living abroad!
Simply ask a receipt under your name and with a mention of SkipTax. Take a picture of the document and submit during your trip! At customs scan the final barcode and done in 48h I got my cash back.
User since living abroad. Can only recommend! Why pay VAT when you can get a discount?
Fantastic app
Incredibly easy to use and upload receipts and necessary documentation. Really slick process. Very happy user
No Refund
Presented all the necessary documents to customs officer in Le Shuttle terminal who said he processed my tax return.
Got text message saying Congratulations you will get your tax back within 48 hours…. A week later I still haven’t received the tax refund!
Easy to use
Used the app after shopping at Pidu Dunkirk. Easy to use and quick repayment. Saved £25! Not bad for 5 mins work
Super quick
Shopped at Calais Wine Superstore 5.30pm on Saturday. Refund in my bank account 12 hours later. What’s not to like?
Simple - once you know how.
Now we’ve used the app and followed the process next time will be so easy. We spoke to a cashier at the Wine Superstore (who was very helpful) and followed his instructions. We’ve had the money into our bank within 24 hours of scanning the barcode.
Skip tax.
Excellent idea. Works as it should. Just been to Disneyland Paris and scanned my receipts as I went.
Highly recommended
Barcode didn’t come through in time
Process says the barcode comes through quickly - ours took 12 hours meaning we couldn’t undertake the in-person aspect of the claim back in time.
All chat functions of support do not work at the weekend, so if you need to claim back your tax before booked transport… good luck!!
Lost out on a decent bit of money due to the very slow pace and lack of help to resolve.
Fab app
So easy to use, step by step guide. It’s like getting some free money. Only issue was finding the machine when we got to Calais, had to have a quick jog across the port whilst coach waited to load, fast and efficient. Money in my account morning we arrived home👍
Simple
Easy to use, simple process, no complaints at all.
