Hunan Pioneers "Instant Tax Refund" Policy - Over 30 Brands Launch Pilot at Changsha IFS

Effective immediately, Hunan Province has officially launched its first-ever pilot program for an "Instant Tax Refund" service at Changsha IFS, offering eligible overseas visitors (including foreign tourists and residents from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan of China) a seamless tax refund experience when shopping at designated stores. This initiative represents a significant upgrade to the traditional departure tax refund policy, providing travelers with a faster, more convenient, and diversified tax refund option. Unlike the conventional procedures, the "Instant Tax Refund" allows tourists to receive their refunds directly at the shopping mall, enhancing the seamless experience of cross-border consumption.

Instant Tax Refund - 9% Tax Rebate Paid On-Site

As the first batch of pilot shopping malls in Hunan, Changsha IFS has set up a temporary "Instant Tax Refund Service Center" at the L2 VIP Lounge. Eligible overseas visitors can present their passports (for foreign tourists) or valid personal identification (for residents from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan of China), along with VAT invoices, the "Tax Refund Application Form" and credit card with pre-authorization privileges to complete the refund process. The tax refund, equivalent to 9% of the purchase amount, is paid immediately in CNY cash. After receiving the refund, tourists can continue shopping, stimulating a deeper cycle of cross-border consumption.
