TAX FREE EASY and Alipay established strategic cooperation to Provide Chinese Tourists with Tax Refund Services

TAX FREE EASY established a strategic cooperation with Alipay, the world-leading third-party payment and lifestyle platform under the Ant Financial Services Group, seeking to improve the tax refund experience of Chinese tourists during shopping in Europe. From August 2016, Chinese tourists may be entitled to a tax refund through TAX FREE EASY during shopping in Europe, with no service fees and an optimal exchange rate guaranteed. Tourists will receive the tax refund through their Alipay accounts within 5-7 working days.

As an innovative tax refund service offered by TRAVE EASY and the official tax refund partner of Alipay, TAX FREE EASY provides the best services for Chinese tourists during shopping in Europe; it is the first brand in Europe that offers tax free services to Chinese tourists.

As early as the beginning of 2015, TRAVEL EASY established a cooperation relation with Alipay. As the first integrated service provider of Alipay in Europe, it opens a door for over 450 million Alipay users to conveniently pay bills in the most famous duty-free shops in Frankfurt, Munich, Neuschwanstein Castle and Cologne using Alipay. Now, TRAVEL FREE further cooperated with Alipay on the matter of tax refund, seeking to provide Chinese tourists with a revolutionary tax refund and true “duty-free” shopping.

TAX FREE EASY Preferred By Tourists Shopping In Europe
A Convenient Way to Save Your Money During Shopping

The fussy procedures, long waiting times and the non-Chinese speaking support of conventional tax refund services cause Chinese tourists to give up tax refund after shopping in Europe. EU member states exempt Chinese tourists from VAT, but the benefits of these rights are significantly reduced. For example, in Germany, a product of 119 EUR will correspond to a tax refund of 19 EUR on the shopping receipt; after conventional tax refund procedures only half of the original 19 EUR will be left.
