Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Hi All just found this on Dalaman airport site you might be able to claim the tax back on goods you have bought in Turkey

Tax Free
The passengers not residing in Turkey may take the VAT amount back when they buy a product. Tax refund statement shall be made in departing passenger halls before the Check-in procedures. You shall cause the confirmation of the Tax Free checks accompanied by the bought goods, invoice/check and your passport in the Customs Inspection Office of the terminal departure hall. The customs officers inform the passengers about the Tax Free system

Thanks for that info, is it just me or is that about as clear as mud.

Elaine

It's as clear as mud, i started reading it and gave up Think I will just pay it Where do you get a tax refund statement from?? I think the next bit means you show what you bought with receipt to customs in departure lounge and then customs will tell you what's what!! Thanks Steve Ha Ha Grammar school education and still baffled ?????

So glad it's not just me who was confused there girls!

Hi

if its the same as in the USA you have to fill in a reclaim form take it to customs with your goods and the original receipt and they will issue you a refund


Steve

so if i get a receipt for all the effes i drink can i claim the tax back?

Er No you have to produce the goods at the airport


Steve
