Government Partners

Premier Tax Free works in close cooperation with the world's governments in order to secure a fully authorised and certified Tax Refund service for retail merchants. Premier Tax Free incorporates local legislation requirements when introducing a VAT refund service in each new country.

On many occasions Premier Tax Free have been able to bring new and exciting recommendations to European governments to improve the tax free process.

In 1985 Premier Tax Free was the first VAT refund provider to negotiate with the Irish Tax authorities for a direct refund of the VAT paid to tourists. This facility resulted in less paperwork for merchants and a better control system by the tax authorities. This Premier procedure is now a standard feature throughout the industry.

Furthermore Premier Tax Free is currently collaborating with French customs to introduce a new automated electronic process for the control and validation of tax refund forms.
