London,United Kingdom - December 14, 2022 /PressCable/

Wevat’s latest launch offers users an expanded suite of features that makes it easy to claim back tax on products and purchases. The innovative and expertly-designed app is available to download from the Apple Store, Google Play, and AppGallery.

The Wevat app allows shoppers to add their purchases to the app with a single tap and receive up to a 13% reduction on the majority of items they’ve purchased when on holiday in France. The app has already helped travellers from over 88 countries save more than 18 million Euros in VAT fees.

VAT, or Value Added Tax, is an automatic tax levied on goods in European countries. This can be as much as 20% to 25% of an item’s net price. Travellers and visitors are, however, able to claim a refund of these fees. Prior to Brexit, British travellers were subject to the same VAT regulations as French residents, but are now able to have these duties reimbursed.

Wevat offers a convenient, paper-free alternative to the traditional method of claiming back added taxes which required shoppers to acquire and complete a paper form from the merchant for every purchase made. The app streamlines this chain of admin. Users now only need to ask a store for a ‘facture’ (‘invoice’ in French) – addressed to Wevat – which they can photograph and upload to the app.

Goods and invoices can then be taken to the airport or departure port where users can scan an app-generated barcode at the tax refund kiosk. Wevat offers easy tracking of refunds and allows users to choose payments in over 50 currencies via credit card, Alipay, and WeChat Pay. Plus, there is a friendly, multilingual customer support team in the app providing support throughout the trip.
