TAX REFUND PROCEDURE

 

You live near Divonne-les-Bains (in Switzerland), and would like to buy from us; you have two options:
 

- Pick up your order in-store and benefit from the tax refund

- When taking the products, we fill in in store formalities needed to benefit from a tax refund. We charge prices including French VAT 20%

- You will drop the paper in the box provided at the Swiss customs in Chavannes (the box is called DECLARATION ECRITE)

- Within 3 to 4 weeks, you will receive a letter from the Swiss customs asking you to pay the Swiss VAT 8%, unless you have been able to travel free and benefit from the franchise*

*franchise: Swiss residents will not pay the Swiss VAT for a purchase amount less than CHF 300 (approx. 250 euros depending on the exchange rate). Please note, if you purchase a single product for approx. 600 CHF, the franchise does not apply even if you are two people in the vehicles (you need at least 2 packages).

- While you will receive the Swiss letter, we will receive a confirmation of export by the French customs. We can then refund the French VAT 20%. To reimburse this amount, we will credit your payment card in our store. (preferably the same you used for the payment / but not mandatory).
Please note that the reimbursement can only be done within 6 months from the date of the purchase. Please come by the shop within this timeframe. 

After 6 months from the date of purchase, we will not be able to proceed to reimbursement.

Arrêté du 16 décembre 2014 fixant la forme, les conditions d'établissement et d'apurement du titre justificatif des exportations effectuées par les voyageurs résidant dans un pays tiers à l'Union européenne ou dans une collectivité d'outre-mer de la République

In total, it takes 5 minutes to fill in the administrative paper, a delay of up to 4 weeks and a second presentation in our store to save at least 12% of the total price! (20% if you buy less than 250 euros per person and therefore benefit from the franchise). It looks difficult, but it is in fact easy!
