Can I claim Tax Free on hotels, restaurants or other services?

Find out which types of purchases are not eligible for a Tax Free refund with Pie VAT.

Tax Free shopping generally applies to eligible physical goods that you purchase and take with you when you leave the country or relevant Tax Free area.

This means you cannot use Pie VAT to claim a Tax Free refund for services or purchases that are consumed during your trip, such as:

  • Hotel stays

  • Restaurant and café bills

  • Transport or other services

  • Food or drinks consumed during your stay

What about food and drinks I take home?

Eligible products that you purchase and take with you when you leave, rather than consume during your trip, may qualify depending on the Tax Free rules in the country where you shop.

Always check the local eligibility requirements for your purchase before starting a Tax Free claim.

💡 Good to know: Tax Free rules vary by country, so not every type of product is eligible everywhere.
