About Airvat
Airvat is a tax-free shopping service that helps non-EU travellers reclaim VAT on purchases made in France. Users collect invoices addressed to Airvat from different stores, track one combined refund total in the app, generate a tax-free form, and validate it at a PABLO kiosk or with customs at the final EU departure point. The service is authorised by French Customs.
Customers are travellers over 16 who live outside the EU and visit France for less than six months. Airvat charges a flat commission of 20% of the VAT refund, and refunds are paid electronically, usually within 24 hours of the tax-free form being validated. Combined purchases must total more than €100; there is no minimum spend per store.
The company is registered in London, United Kingdom, and was founded in 2017. The website states that it has been used by over 40,000 travellers from 90 countries. Its service covers purchases in any store or online, provided the invoice is addressed to Airvat and online orders are delivered in France.
