3 Steps

3 easy steps to save real money while shopping:
 

  1. Shopping
    Apply for the ALDI SÜD Tax Free Card. Show your ALDI SÜD Tax Free Card at the checkout of a participating ALDI SÜD store. You will receive a completed Tax Free Form with your personal details stored in your customer profile, as well as your purchase and VAT refund amount automatically printed on it. The receipt will be attached to the Tax Free Form.
  2. At Customs
    When leaving the EU, please present your purchases, travel documents (e.g. passport or ID card), and the Tax Free Form with the attached receipt. You must do this within three months of purchasing the goods, not including the month of purchase. If the legally required details about the goods to be exported and your travel documents match the information on the Tax Free Form, you will receive a customs stamp on the form.
  3. VAT Refund – Tax Free
    Place the customs-stamped Tax Free Forms with the attached receipts into the return envelope and drop it into the designated Global Blue collection box during your next visit to a participating ALDI SÜD store, or send it by post with sufficient postage. Global Blue will transfer the refund amount of all submitted Tax Free Forms to the bank account provided in your card application within four weeks of receiving the documents in the collection box (or from the postmarked date if sent by mail).
