Net refund and purchase-amount bands
- Standard VAT is 21%. VAT within a tax-inclusive price is 21/121, about 17.3554%; 21% is not the actual refund rate.
- You generally must reside outside the EU and complete DIVA export validation. There is no general statutory minimum purchase amount, but valid refund documentation is still required.
- The reviewed amount bands are legal minimum refunds for authorized collaborating refund entities. They are not a provider’s actual quote, an all-Europe tariff or a promise for direct retailer refunds.
- The table uses fixed refund amounts from EUR 100.01 through EUR 1,000 and amount-band percentages above EUR 1,000; purchases up to EUR 100 have a separate percentage rule. The floor already reflects permitted operator commission; do not deduct another invented fee.
- The official table lists both EUR 89.50 and EUR 92.00 at exactly EUR 700.00. This tool conservatively estimates EUR 89.50 there without resolving the legal minimum; the next band starts at EUR 700.01. Percentage results are rounded down to euro cents as an explicit estimate convention, not a verified statutory rounding rule.
- The table aggregates eligible invoices from the same affiliated supplier and separates VAT rates. A single-item comparison does not aggregate your other purchases or stores. Retailer participation and DIVA export validation still apply; confirm the payment method and provider’s actual quote rather than treating the floor as a guaranteed payout.
