Tax-Free Shopping
Tourists whose purchases exceed 500 Kuna may claim a PDV (VAT) tax return for all goods except petroleum products when leaving the country. At point of purchase the sales person will provide on request a PDV-P form, which should be filled out and stamped on the spot. On leaving Croatia the receipt must be verified by the Croatian Customs service. A PDV refund in Kunas can be obtained within six months, either at the same shop where the goods were purchased (in which case the tax is refunded immediately), or by posting the verified receipt back to the shop, together with the account number into which the refund should be paid. In this case the refund is dealt with within 15 days of receipt of the claim. An easier way is to purchase goods in shops with a "CROATIA TAX-FREE SHOPPING" label. Using an international coupon, refund is possible in all countries-members of the TAX-FREE international chain. In this case the service charge is deducted from the tax refund amount.
