How can I request Tax Free (VAT refund)?Updated 3 months ago
If you are a resident outside the European Union and made your purchase in an ALOHAS physical store in Europe, you may request a VAT refund through the Tax Free system.
This benefit only applies under the special scheme for travellers and is managed through a DIVA document (Spain) or Global Blue (other countries).
How does it work?
- At the physical store 
 At the time of purchase, our team will generate the Tax Free document and send it to you by email.
- At the airport or EU exit point 
 Present your document (DIVA or Global Blue) along with your purchases and passport so it can be validated by customs.
- Refund 
 Once validated, you can request the VAT refund through the entity indicated in your document.
Important
- Tax-free does not apply to online purchases. 
- It is only valid if the purchase was made in a physical store within the EU and the document is validated before leaving the European territory. 
- Currently, it is not possible to request this for purchases in the Amsterdam store.
