Shopping tax free is a real way to save when eligible. In some countries, the tax refund increases depending on the price of the good you buy. We\u2019ve taken all this into consideration, where the luxury hedge index will show you the relative prices with and without tax. We\u2019ve also taken into account the commission points that refund companies, such as Global Blue, usually take. For example, even though the VAT rate for some products in Greece might be as high as 24%, you never receive that much tax refund back. It\u2019s not an exact science, but it will give you an indication of whether you will save when shopping overseas.<\/p>\r\n      \r\n      <p>Actual refunds can vary by spend threshold, brand policy, documentation, and operator fees. Treat tax-free as indicative until confirmed in store.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <!-- 3.
