VAT Refund for Tourists

Since 1 June 1999, all tourists travelling to Thailand who purchase goods from stores and shops & retail outlets labelled with "VAT REFUND FOR TOURISTS" are able to receive value added tax (VAT) refunds before departing Thailand. Tourists will immediately receive cash refunds at the tax refund counter in the departure hall of the airport.

Visitors who want to claim value-added tax refunds can obtain application forms when making purchases at stores displaying the VAT Refund for Tourists logo. VAT refunds may be claimed at the airport if the total amount comes to more than 5,000 Baht. In order to claim your refund you will need to fill out form P.P.10 when you purchase your product. Tourists are eligible to receive the P.P.10 form at the time of purchase, when the total purchases come to more than 2,000 baht.

Prior to airport departure, visitors must present a completed form, plus passport information and goods purchased to customs officers. Certain luxury goods must also be shown to a revenue officer. Refunds will be in draft form or credited to your credit card. For more information, please contact VAT Refund office at the airport.
