Nice experience

At first, my friend recommended Zapptax, a tax refund company, to me. But I had some doubts. Because I usually get my tax refund form directly from the store. I read the reviews online and some said they were good and some said they were bad. I went to France last year and used Zapptax’s tax refund service, but I waited the refund a long time! I almost thought I was cheated. I have been contacting their customer service and luckily they have been patiently replying to me. I went to France again last month, and I didn’t expect that the tax refund was processed in just a week or two this time. Zapptax told me that last year was slower due to special circumstances, but 100% of their users received money. I think this APP is still worth recommending. It is very convenient. You can upload both large and small purchases. The tax refund rate is also quite high. There is also a manual customer service available at any time.

Best detax operator on the market

Living abroad for almost 10 years, I can say that Zapptax transformed my detax experience when I started using it 5 years ago. It's much more user friendly than standard detax operators, (much) less pricy, and the support service reacts at lightning, 24/7.
The app is easy to use, paperworks with the customs are automated, and ZappTax allows smaller purchases to be detaxed than most other operators.
On top of that, they are usually quite swift to reimburse.
What else ?

Easy to use

Service easy to use. Reimbursement fast and without follow up. I encourage online delivery company to explore this service if they want to propose tax free services to their client.

3 months later still nothing

Some reviews say they got their refund within 2 weeks. That’s not the case for everyone. Zapptax has been seating in my refund for close to 3 months now. Unsure how they decide who get their money faster than other but after many request they are still unable to provide a simple timeframe for the reimbursement. This is complete false advertising. They are no where close to 48hours timeframe as they promise on their web communication. Good idea but poor operation does not make this service viable.

Hello Alix,

Thank you for your review. We do understand your concern as a first-time user. It is the first time we have experienced such a long refund time frame due to the tax authorities not having released the funds yet. We are in close contact with them on a very regular basis and they simply tell us they are currently overworked and will work on our file soon. I do confirm your refund is granted and has been transferred on 27/10 and 22/12.
Sorry about the longer delay of this time, but rest assure, nothing to be worried about.

Regards
ZappTax

Customer service is superb

Customer service is superb. I had a complicated situation in that I didn't know about this app before departing, the store I purchased from said I could take care of VAT refund at the airport, and that was not true. I had a invoice stamped by customs, but had no Tax-Free form. ZappTax assisted me in getting this into their system and the refund is now being processed. Of course, until I actually see the refund I can't be certain it all is fine, but it's looking good and I will definitely use this app on future trips.

Grown too fast and unable to cope.

Grown to fast and unable to cope.
In line with latest reviews. I've used the service many times without problem. But I'm now on 3.5 months and counting waiting for a refund.

That's very poor way of managing expectations. The worst? This article on the app mentioning longer time frame (MAXIMUM 3 MONTHS is written). When I mentioned that to customer service the reply was embarrassing: oh it's more a guidance than anything.

I don't trust the service anymore. I'm currently on holiday and filled info on the app but won't submit anything because I can't trust ZappTax anymore unfortunately

Hello,

We are currently facing longer delays which is not linked to our growth but to an exceptional delay from tax authorities.

This is not our new standard, please bear with us so we can prove that to you.

Great app but outrageous refund delay - over 100 days and still counting…

I used Zapptax for the first time this Summer 23, process was smooth, app makes it easier and everything went well, so far.
My tax forms were validated on in September 3rd so nothing left but wait for the refund.
It’s been 100 days, still no refund, and now were are entering another holiday peak season which might delay again the process. My refund is only 110€ and makes me wonder if Zapptax can’t refund such a small amount, how long will I have to wait for a bigger one ?
App is good, but refund process is way too long, I don’t think I’ll keep using Zapptax in the future.

Edit 12/13:
Been refunded - after 108 days

Hello Lauren,

We are sorry that you feel this way.
Indeed, we currently have longer reimbursement delays than usual, but the situation is about to be resolved. That is why we wanted to assure you that, no matter the amount of the tax refund, you have been refunded on 21/12. We apologize once again for these delays.
Thank you,

Good experience overall

Refund Was pending for few days but after getting in touch with the reactive team of ZappTax refund was sent within minutes. Just be advised that if your transfer may incur fees (foreign bank account, etc) it might take some time but eu/french accounts ok. Would recommend and use probably again.
