One of the key things that I take note of whenever I go overseas is to do shopping... I mean... *duhhhh* Anyways, being overseas has its perks; especially when it comes to shopping. Duty free shopping that is. Most places let you do your claims at the airport. For Taipei, it is the same as well, you make your claims at the airport.
The Taoyuan Taipei International Airport.
Where's the TAX REFUND counter? For those who are bad with directions... nevermind.
Look out for the China Airlines First Class Lounge. =)
Next to it is the Customs Information + Foreign Passenger VAT Refund. =)
Queue up, and then present your forms and products to the officer-in-charge!!!
And... VOILA!!! They'll pay you back in cash immediately.
However - it is only 5% refund though, as compared to much higher rates elsewhere. LOL.
