22% VAT is included in every price tag. Here's how to get your share back.
Italy's standard VAT rate is 22%. Tourist VAT refunds return approximately 12–15% after processing fees. Florence's leather goods and fashion purchases typically qualify.
Same process as all Italian cities: request a Tax Free form at checkout with your passport, complete the form, and process at the airport. If you're flying from Florence's Amerigo Vespucci airport, the refund desk is small — allow extra time. Flying from Rome or Milan gives you larger, faster processing facilities.
Most stalls at the San Lorenzo leather market and independent artisan workshops do not participate in Tax Free schemes. If VAT refund eligibility matters, shop at established retailers and boutiques where the Tax Free signage is displayed.
