Net refund and purchase-amount bands
- Standard VAT is 8.1%. The VAT within a tax-inclusive price is 8.1/108.1, about 7.4931% of that price, rather than an 8.1% refund of the sticker price.
- You generally must reside outside Switzerland; each qualifying receipt must total at least CHF 300 including VAT, with goods exported within 90 days of purchase.
- Keep the shop’s refund documents and obtain export evidence. The shop or service provider processes the actual refund under its applicable terms.
- Operator fees remain unverified. A zero-fee estimate is for comparison and does not guarantee your payout; no nationwide net-refund amount-band table has been verified.
