How do I complete my Tax Free claim in the Pie VAT app?

Follow the steps to complete and submit your Tax Free order in the Pie VAT app before leaving the store.

Once the store has created your Tax Free order, you’ll receive a 6-digit claim code. Use this code to access your order in the Pie VAT app.

In the store

  1. Enter your claim code
    Enter the 6-digit code you received in store.

  2. Add your travel details
    Add your travel information and Travel ID.

  3. Photograph your receipt
    Take a clear photo of the receipt for your order. Remember: one receipt = one Tax Free order.

  4. Review and submit
    Check that your information is correct and submit your claim.

Once your order has been processed, a barcode will appear in the Pie VAT app. You’ll need this at the airport.

At the airport - before security

  1. Validate your purchase at a DIVA kiosk
    If Spain is your final point of departure from the EU, go to a DIVA kiosk before security and scan the barcode shown in your Pie VAT app.

  2. Keep your purchased goods with you
    Make sure your Tax Free purchases are with you and accessible. Customs may ask to see the goods, along with your passport and receipt, before validating your export.

Once your export has been successfully validated by Customs, your refund can be processed.


⚠️ Submitting your information in the Pie VAT app is not the final step. You must also complete Customs validation when leaving the EU to receive your Tax Free refund.
