Airvat Tax Refund 4+

Let me start by saying I felt like I was taking a chance in downloading this app and using it during my stay in London - I feared I would get to the end, without any VAT forms, and somehow end up screwed. I’m delighted to say that’s exactly what DIDN’T happen! The app is totally legit and very well organized. I had a few hiccups, but the customer service team is AMAZING and often got back to me in less than an hour. The app is thorough, has an easy to understand/use interface, and in the end provides a well organized form for you to take to the VAT Refund counter staff your airport of choice. I will note that the admin fee is a bit steep, so if you’re making just one or two big purchases it probably won’t be worth it. But with this app I felt free to shop as I pleased and log several items across several receipts, which in the end made it worth it. Making as many purchases as I did, it would’ve been difficult to keep track of several forms, receipts, etc. not to mention every single one would’ve needed filled out, which you don’t have to do with this app - you upload your passport info etc. just one time.

I received the refund today two weeks after departure. I am impressed with the turnaround time. The app was fantastic, I would highly recommend, it worked seamlessly. I previously contacted you while I was uploading a receipt with multiple items where I was only exporting one item and the answer came back via email to indicate as such on the receipt. When I uploaded the receipt it worked perfectly. I will definitely be using the app in the future, it's great!

I had no idea this was a new app. Everything went so smoothly I just assumed it had been around for years. It really is as easy as it sounds. Just take a picture of each receipt, and it does all the work for you on one form. I never would have gone through the trouble of chasing down someone in department stores, so this was perfect.
