Vat Refund

Israelis forfeit roughly 1.3 billion shekels annually in unclaimed VAT refunds while shopping abroad. Understanding Tax Free thresholds, customs validation, and digital intermediaries can significantly reduce travel expenses.

New data from PassportCard shows a 100% increase in VAT refund registrations. Despite this, Israeli travelers continue to leave over one billion shekels in unclaimed VAT refunds abroad annually.
