Tax free shopping in Prague & Czech Republic:

There are plenty of quality products on sale in the shops in Prague. Most international brands are represented, along with a fine selection of Czech goods.

Tourists from outside the EU can save up to 14% Value Added Tax on purchases. Not all shops offer the tax free facility, so look out for a "Tax Free" sign in the shop window, or ask at the shop counter.

To qualify, your total purchases in one day in one store must exceed 2000czk.

How to claim
You need to pay for the goods first, then claim the tax back when you leave the country:

When paying for goods at the check out in a shop, ask the assistant for a Tax Free shopping voucher.

Present the voucher to a Czech customs official within 30 days of the date of purchase to get a stamp. You can do this at Prague Airport when you leave. The office is located BEFORE passport control.

Hand the voucher in AFTER passport control to one of the Duty Free Shops. They will then refund your VAT, minus their commission.
