Your purchases are only eligible for a VAT refund if they meet all of the following time requirements:
You must sign up to Wevat and agree to our terms before you make a purchase;
You must leave France and the EU with your purchase within 3 months following the month in which you bought your item. If your purchase falls outside this time period, it will not be eligible for a VAT refund. For example, if you are leaving in April (1st-30th April), the earliest date you can make an eligible purchase is 1st January.
