MAXIMIZE YOUR VAT RELIEF WITH THE REMONON APP!📲 

 

Make the most of your VAT benefits and get cash back while you shop: the Remonon App makes VAT relief effortless! This powerful tool helps eligible customers get their tax back on smaller purchases. Whether you’re grabbing groceries, picking up gifts, shopping on Amazon or dining out at a restaurant, this app is a game-changer for saving money!  

 

How Does It Work? 

How to get your VAT refund: 

  1. Shop as Usual:  Pay the full price, including VAT, for your purchases at local German stores. 

  1. Use the App:  Take photos of your receipts and upload them in the Remonon App. 

  1. Get Your Refund:  At the end of the month, Remonon sends you a summary invoice and reimburses the VAT you paid onto your American and German bank account, minus a small processing fee. 

How to get your account set up: 

  1. Visit the Tax Relief Office:  Head to the USAG Stuttgart VAT Office located in Building 2915, 3rd Floor, on Panzer Kaserne. 

  1. Get Your IVN Number:  The staff will register you and provide your unique IVN number needed for the app. 

  1. Pick Up Your VAT Forms:  You will need one NF-1 form per month for $10, which you can get from the VAT office.  

  1. Download the Remonon App and set up your account (the VAT Office will provide detailed step-by-step instructions on how to do it). 

 

What You Need to Know 

How to ensure your eligibility for the refund:

  • Single purchase must not exceed €250 (including VAT), per vendor, per day.
