What is Global Blue?
Global Blue is a global tax refund operator that works with leading retailers to help tourists from outside the EU reclaim the VAT (Value Added Tax) paid on eligible purchases.
At Forevery, we’re proud to be a participating partner—so when you buy from us, getting your VAT refund is seamless and Uncomplicated.
What is VAT, and Why Can You Get It Back?
VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied to goods and services in many countries, including those in the European Union. In Belgium, for example, the VAT rate is 21%.
But here’s the good news — if you live outside the EU and you’re visiting Europe, you don’t have to pay this tax on items you’re taking home with you. That’s where the Global Blue Tax-Free system helps. It allows you to get a part of that tax money back after your purchase, as long as you take the item out of the EU with you.
For Example, if you buy a Yellow Gold Oval Diamond engagement ring with Halo and pavé style for €1,207.50 (including 21% VAT) from Forevery:
- The actual price without VAT: €998.76
- You can get back up to: €208.74 as a tax refund after leaving the EU.
Key Requirements to claim the refunds:
- You must reside outside the EU.
- You must spend a minimum of €125.01 in a single store on the same day.
- Goods must be exported unused within 3 months of purchase.
- You must carry the goods in your personal luggage.
- Shoppers who live outside the EU
- Tourists visiting Europe for a short time
- Buyers who take the goods home with them
- You’re visiting the EU for less than 6 months

For example, if your refund was €30, around €1.2 may be deducted as a conversion fee, plus €1 scheme fee, resulting in a €27.8 refund before final currency conversion.
If you choose a cash refund at the airport, a cash handling fee is also deducted, which varies by location and helps cover airport processing costs. Always review the fee details before selecting your refund method.
