yes my english is good 😛
NYorker.. haha
Na won't get no tax back. work and live her. i have a company license but I don't do no vat refunds. a bit complicated.
its a weird license and you get to choose wether or not you want to "tax" your bills. if you don't tax, you don't get tax back.
sadly the roughly 800€ vat down the drain....
you need your companies tax id usually.
Ahhh... NYC? Or NYS? haha...see, I knew it!
No, it has nothing to do with any license or ID (well, except for your non-EU passport) and no, it is not done at the point of purchase. And it's more like 1,000 euros you'd be looking at getting back...
But here's the good news, you can still do it. Download the tax-free form from Cyberport (just google it) and then follow the instructions. Itemize the VAT out as instructed and next time you head overseas, present the form and the invoice, along with your passport and boarding pass to the nice man at the customs office at the airport,
after clearing security and usually
after your passport is checked.
The customs office is often empty, because very few people know about this, and the people in there could usually care less about seeing your export and just stamp your form. Then, you simply fax/email Cyberport the stamped form and they credit the amount of 1,000 euros back to your method of payment.
It ain't complicated, you don't need no license, and it's better than any other tax back scheme through an income tax deduction. I mean, what accountant is going to get you 1000 euros back on a 5000 euro purchase? Only the folks at your friendly neighborhood Crunch Tax Free office.

If you're like me and have an active disdain for most any government and its theft bureaus... oops, I mean taxation schemes...oops I mean taxation "services"...such as our own: the unbelievably far-reaching (as well as over-reaching) IRS, then you will not hesitate to do what you can...
for yourself!
