Ready to welcome tourists, PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS’ self-service kiosks – Tax Free – facilitate the VAT (Value Added Tax) refund process. These kiosks promise to facilitate the refund mechanism in a fast, simple and efficient way.
Equipped with the latest technology, these self-service kiosks allow tourists to fully process VAT refund requests in just a few minutes. Tax Free is, thus, a system that allows international visitors to claim VAT refunds on purchases they take with them after their trip.
Contributing to the consolidation of the growth of shopping tourism, PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS’ customized self-service kiosks also enable tax free shoppers to be identified through card recognition when making payment, where they can print their own tax free forms.
Fully automated and easy to use, the self-service kiosks with the Tax Free system aim to provide more services to tourists, who can, thus, avoid physical contact with the customer. This ensures a safer experience for the customer.
This equipment will ultimately boost tourist demand for Tax Free shopping and support merchants in the consolidation of eTaxFree, an electronic system created to speed up the Tax Free process. In other words, at the moment of purchase, shop owners must communicate electronically and in real-time with the Tax Authority (AT).
Another purpose of this complete Tax Free solution is to make the shopping experience easier for tourists. So, there are five steps that must be followed:
- Scanning of passport;
- Verification and confirmation of the Tax Free forms issued;
- Insertion of credit card for guarantee purposes;
- Receiving the refund;
- Obtaining validation of the forms.
Similar to ATM machines, self-service kiosks allow to withdraw the VAT refund in cash, for Alipay or by credit card.
The self-service kiosks developed for Tax Free have other features, such as the following:
- Automatic language recognition;
- Electronic forms issuance;
- Consolidation of purchase receipts;
- Automatic calculation of values;
- Electronic passport reader;
- Tax free.
This simplified procedure identifies taxes that can be refunded, verifies that the purchases are with the tourist and then facilitates the recovery of taxes.
Self-service kiosks, in turn, are a valuable asset, as tourists can recover VAT without the need to interact with employees.
