In many countries, including France, the price of goods will include some tax (VAT - value added tax, or "TVA" in French). This tax is automatically added onto your shopping, and can be as much as 20-25% of the original price 😱.

Luckily, there's a way to get that money back. If you're shopping abroad and take your purchases home with you to enjoy, you're eligible for a VAT refund. Unfortunately, traditional refund process can be a pain, involving lots of forms and queueing – not what you want when travelling!

That's where we come in. At Wevat, we make getting a VAT refund on shopping abroad simple and easy. You can shop, add invoices and generate your refund straight from your phone, whilst on the go. So use Wevat, and spend your money and time on the things you enjoy and deserve instead!

P.S. Don't forget - now that the UK has left the European Union, UK travellers visiting EU countries can get a tax refund on their EU shopping. So start saving today!
