A type of scam

The requirements do not male sense.

Très pratique

Application très facile d’utilisation qui permet avec le code de parrainage “3FFNVWH8” lors de la création du compte de bénéficier de % supplémentaire de remboursement qui en fait le plus rentable que j’ai trouvé..

Me rechazan la devolución al no tener pasaporte.

Resulta que soy ciudadano europeo ( España, Islas Canarias) y mi DNI sirve para moverme por Europa pero para que me devuelvan los impuestos me dice el agente Alexandre que debo tener pasaporte. Una situación ridícula, mando la foto de mi DNI y mi certificado de residente de las Islas Canarias y como la app no reconoce que es un pasaporte me deniegan la devolución. Lo peor es que la aduana francesa ya autorizó la devolución de los impuestos.

Bien faite et utile mais …

Je trouve assez simple l’utilisation de l’app, relativement intuitive. Mon seul problème est que je ne peux écrire directement un message pour le support. J’ai un souci par exemple et les seules option avec le « bot » ne répondent pas à mon problème ni la FAQ.

Sceptical but satisfied

loaded the app to claim VAT back on wine. I didn't expect too much.. but it all worked out. roice upload process was easy, bit fiddly removing the the items I didn't want to claim
1. 1 could easily add additional invoices. The bar code was generated, already to go at the ). I was travelling by Ferry, the PABLO are in the DOUANES office - easy to find and sted. Scanning... you need to turn brightness up (as per instructions) .. the only heart in 1 was the scan.. go a green tick.. then confusing messages on the screen about keeping rm safe... there is no form and it took a few minute for skiptax to registed the scan.... but So, green tick... walk out and wait! I received my refund 24 hours later - great service - l will be using again!
