FAQ
TAX FREE
The airport information also manages the Tax Free refund for Planet Payment. 

The most important thing, if you want a refund by Premier Tax Free, is to get the customs approval. To do this, you need to present your fully completed Tax Free form, together with your travel documents and purchased goods, to Customs at the airport. It is important that you do this prior to check-in.

If you want your refund on your bank account, it is very important that you fill in your card number on the Premier Tax Free form. This is the sixteen digit number written across the front of your credit-card.

Furthermore, it is important that the original receipt for the purchase is attached to the Tax Free form. If you want a copy of the receipt you can get that at the airport information, but in order to get the refund it is necessary that the original receipt is attached to the form.

The refund is 12% of the purchase amount if the purchase is between 300-1000dkk. If the purchase amount is higher, the refund gradually increases.
