Diplomat Tax Free in Belgium
Due to a change in the law for diplomats living in Belgium, Global Blue has launched a Premium service to assist diplomats with their Tax Free Shopping opportunities.

In partnership with Forax, the largest diplomatic service provider in Europe, Global Blue takes care of all administration follow-up to refund your VAT.
Simply request an invoice from the retailer at the time of purchase, upload your invoice on the FORAX website or via the Forax-app and receive your VAT refund within 5 working days. Be sure to check our affiliated brands or look out for the 'Diplomat Tax Free' sticker in-store to enjoy the fastest VAT refund on the market.
Louis Vuitton, Media Markt and Belgium 's largest retail chain group Inno, are just three of the many top brands already affiliated with Global Blue.
Every 'authorised' diplomat is entitled to a VAT-refund on goods and services purchased which are defined by the government in different categories
As a diplomat, you must join one of three authorised companies that are responsible for validating and refunding VAT (this may only be done by a company). Click here to affiliate with Forax / Global Blue.
If you wish to offer our service as a retailer and thereby enjoy all the benefits Global Blue has to offer for you, please contact us via e-mail or by phone. You can find our contact information at the end of this page.
