Step
Make a tax-free sale

This space allows you to edit a PABLO export sales slip.

As a reminder, the use of the PABLO IT service is mandatory to make a tax-free sale.

The only exception is the use of export sales slips as a backup procedure. This procedure is strictly regulated.

An explanatory note must be provided with each export sales note.

Here is the answer to my question

Tax relief refers to the reduction or elimination of a tax, often applied to VAT (value added tax) on certain purchases.

🇫🇷 In France, for tourists

If you live outside the European Union and you make purchases in France, you can benefit from a VAT exemption on certain products, provided you export them outside the EU.

✅ Conditions to benefit from the tax exemption:

  • Be over 16 years old
  • Reside outside the EU
  • Spend more than €100.01 in the same store on the same day
  • Leave the EU within 3 months of purchase
  • Present the goods to customs on departure

🛍️ How does it work?

  1. The merchant gives you a tax-free sales slip (often with the PABLO system).
  2. You validate this slip at a kiosk or at customs at the airport.
  3. The trader or a tax-free service then refunds the VAT to you.

Attention: it is not the customs that reimburses, but the seller or a private service provider.
