Tax Free Shopping & VAT refund
Are you visiting Amsterdam from outside the European Union? At LUUKS you can benefit from Tax Free Shopping and receive a 21% VAT refund on purchases made in our store.
LUUKS is an independent fashion and footwear boutique in Amsterdam, established in 2003 and specialized in exclusive brands such as Premiata, Officine Creative, Shoto, Fiorentini + Baker and many other international designer brands.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR A VAT REFUND?
You may qualify for Tax Free Shopping if:
- You live outside the European Union;
- You personally export the purchased goods from the EU;
- The goods leave the EU within the legally required period;
- You have a valid passport or residence permit issued outside the EU.
HOW DOES TAX FREE SHOPPING WORK AT LUUKS?
- Make your purchase in our Amsterdam store.
- We register your purchase in the official NL Customs VAT Refund App.

WHY CHOOSE TAX FREE SHOPPING AT LUUKS?
Many retailers work with third-party tax refund providers that charge service fees, meaning customers only receive part of the VAT amount.
At LUUKS, VAT refunds are processed directly after successful validation by Dutch Customs. As a result, you receive the full 21% VAT refund, without deductions or service fees.
