You’re leaving FREE MONEY on the table in Iceland ????????

Iceland isn't cheap — but you can get money BACK ???? Here's exactly how:

What Is Tax-Free Shopping?

Iceland adds 24% VAT to almost everything you buy. If you’re NOT an Iceland resident, you can claim a portion of that tax back when you take your purchases home with you. It’s NOT a scam — it’s your legal right as a visitor! ✅

Who Qualifies?

• ✅ Non-Iceland residents (tourists, visitors)

• ✅ Single-receipt spend: min. 12,000 ISK (~€84 / $95)

• ✅ Goods must be unused and taken out of Iceland within 3 months

• ❌ Services, meals, accommodation = NOT eligible

Step-by-Step

1️⃣ At checkout — say: "Can you please fill out a tax free form?" → shop gives you a form + attaches your receipt
2️⃣ Keep everything — form, receipt, passport, goods (don't pack them deep!)
3️⃣ At Keflavík Airport — BEFORE check-in:

• Go to Change Group / Refund Desk

• Get your form stamped (under 100k ISK = Change Group; over = Customs)

• Show goods + passport

4️⃣ Get your refund!

How Much Do You Actually Get?

• Full VAT = 24%

• Actual refund ≈ 12%–14% (fees deducted)

• Example: Spend €300 - get ~€40+ back!
That covers a nice dinner or your bus ride

Don't Forget:

• Original receipt MUST be attached

• Form MUST be signed by the shop

• Get the stamp BEFORE you go through security!

• Lost your form? You lose your refund

Save this reel for your departure day — you’ll thank me later!
