Tax-Free Shopping at Pirkan Kello, Tampere

If you’re a non-EU resident visiting Finland, you can enjoy tax-free shopping at Pirkan Kello, located in Kuninkaankatu 19, Tampere. This means you can claim a refund on the VAT (Value Added Tax) applied to your purchases when you export them outside the European Union. We are proud to offer this service to make your shopping experience even more rewarding.

Here’s everything you need to know to take advantage of our tax-free shopping offer.

How Tax-Free Shopping Works

1. Who is eligible?
   Tax-free shopping is available to non-EU residents who are visiting Finland temporarily. If you are permanently living outside the EU, you qualify for a VAT refund on your purchases.
2. How much is the VAT refund?
   The VAT refund on most items in Finland is 25,5%. When you make a tax-free purchase, you will receive a refund of this percentage, which can offer significant savings on high-end products such as luxury watches and fine jewelry.
3. What do I need?
   • Passport: You will need to provide your passport at the time of purchase to verify your eligibility for tax-free shopping.
   • Minimum purchase: To qualify for the VAT refund, your purchase must meet a minimum spending amount set by Finnish tax-free regulations. Our staff will inform you of this threshold.
   • Tax-free form: We will provide you with a tax-free form at the time of purchase, which you will need to present to customs when you leave the EU.
4. Where can I claim my VAT refund?
   You can claim your VAT refund at major exit points from Finland, such as Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, or at designated customs offices at land and sea borders. Remember to keep your purchases in their original, unopened packaging until they have been inspected by customs officials.
5. Refund procedure
   After your tax-free form has been stamped by customs, head to the tax-free refund service desk (such as Global Blue) to receive your VAT refund. Refunds can be processed in cash, credited to your bank account, or transferred to your credit card.
6. Important tips
   • Do not open your purchase: Customs must see the goods unopened and in their original packaging to approve your tax-free claim.
   • Refund time frame: Make sure to claim your refund within the specified time, which is typically 21 days after your purchase.
