How does it work?
Purchase
Shop in any of our stores in Szeged and tell us you would like to buy tax free. Show your passport or ID card and ask for an invoice. We will give you the completed VAT refund form.
Export
Take the watch out of the European Union, unused, within 90 days of purchase.
Customs stamp
When you leave the EU at the border (for example at Röszke or Tompa), show the watch, the invoice and the form to customs and ask them to stamp the form.
Refund
Bring the stamped form and the invoice back to any of our stores and we will refund the full VAT in cash.
Conditions
You can claim it if
- you live outside the European Union (proven with your passport or another official document)
- you spend more than HUF 68,000 on one invoice, VAT included

Good to know
- a till receipt is not eligible, so always ask for an invoice when you buy

- purchases for commercial purposes or resale are not eligible
Frequently asked questions
I am an EU citizen but live outside the EU (e.g. in Serbia). Can I claim it?
Yes, if your place of residence is outside the European Union. You need to prove this with an official document, such as a Serbian ID card or a document confirming your address. An EU passport alone is not enough, because it does not show where you live.
Why 21.26% and not 27%?
VAT is 27%, but it is calculated on the net price. As a share of the gross price including VAT, the 27% VAT comes to 21.26%. On a HUF 200,000 watch, that is HUF 42,520.
Can I buy several watches on one invoice?
Yes, as long as the purchase is for your own or your family’s use and not for resale. The threshold applies to the total amount of one invoice.
What happens if I forget to get the form stamped?
Unfortunately, we cannot refund the VAT in that case, because the export is proven by the customs stamp, and it cannot be obtained afterwards. Always stop at customs when you leave.
Can I claim it on webshop orders?
We offer tax free refunds on watches bought in our stores. If you have found a watch in our webshop, check which store has it in stock and buy it there.
The VAT refund is granted under Section 99 of the Hungarian VAT Act (Act CXXVII of 2007). In 2026 the threshold is EUR 175, i.e. HUF 68,000, and it may change every year.
