Note that theres VAT refund BUT you have to follow the instructions and process:
First pay the full price at the cashier, let staff know you will need VAT refund . They will print out a PIE VAT refund receipt for you Make sure you have downloaded the PIE VAT app (best if you’ve done this beforehand ) and have input your details such as passport details / credit card details Go to VAT refund counter , they have clear instructions on a sheet for you to follow ( I took a photo and attached here) . Basically in the app request a new refund, input your departure date, passport details , scan receipt Submit the request in the app and show the page to staff and they will perform some final process for you . You just have to click claim refund on your app. The VAT refund should come back to your credit card in 5-10 days
