SkipTax is a VAT refund operator approved by French customs, and the first fully digital VAT refund operator in France.

Disclaimer: SkipTax is a private company. This app does not represent French customs or any other government entity. Official sources (douane.gouv.fr) are listed at the end of this description.

Visiting France from outside the European Union? Part of what you pay in the shops is VAT. It is yours to claim back. SkipTax gives it back to you, simply.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Scan your invoices.
Ask the shop for an invoice in SkipTax's name and take a photo of it. In our partner stores, a simple receipt is enough. SkipTax reads the shop, the date, the amount and the VAT. No form to fill in.

2. Show one barcode at customs.
Before you leave the European Union, have your tax refund form validated at a PABLO kiosk or by a customs officer. One barcode covers all your purchases.

3. Receive your refund.
To your bank card, your bank account or your digital wallet. You choose.

WHY SKIPTAX

• Approved by French customs: your tax refund forms are recognised by customs.
• 100% digital: no paper form, no queue, everything happens in the app.
• Everywhere in France: an invoice in SkipTax's name is enough, and in our partner stores, the receipt.
• Real-time tracking: every step is visible, from the purchase to the refund.
• A team that listens: support answers directly in the app, in English and in French.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE

You are 16 or older, you live outside the European Union and you are staying in France for less than six months. Your purchases must exceed €100 per tax refund form and leave the European Union within three months.
