Why do I pay a service fee?

To process a VAT refund claim, among other things, we need to:

• Stay up to date on VAT and export regulation in various EU countries
• Stay up to date on Customs processes in various EU countries
• Continuously train employees so they can provide the best service and remain compliant
• Build secure and compliant (digital) environments to store customer's data and ID documents
• Build and maintain partnerships with Customs departments throughout the EU
• Build and maintain partnerships with Payment Solution Providers throughout the EU
• Build and maintain partnerships with stores throughout the EU
• Continuously maintain and update our internal systems and processes

The costs associated are reflected in our fees.

It's our mission to get fees close to zero (0).

We're continuously innovating in order to make that happen. Developing the tech requires funds and getting all stores, Customs departments and Payment Solution Providers on board takes time. 

In the mean time, we try to offer the lowest service fees as possible and we're proud of that. If you find a lower fee somewhere else, please let us know. We'll match it, guaranteed.
