VAT Refund for International Visitors
Foreign visitors who are neither Israeli citizens nor Israeli residents can benefit from a VAT refund when purchasing jewelry or diamonds in Israel.
You are welcome to place and pay for your order before arriving in Israel, allowing us enough time to prepare or manufacture your jewelry. Your purchase must, however, be collected in Israel during your visit, at which time your purchase invoice and the official VAT refund form will be issued.
How does it work?
- Place and pay for your order before or during your visit to Israel.
- We prepare your jewelry before your arrival whenever possible, so it is ready for collection during your stay.
- Collect your purchase from our showroom at the Ramat Gan Diamond Exchange, or have it delivered free of charge to your hotel, rental accommodation, or any other address in Israel. When you receive your purchase, we will also provide your invoice and the official VAT refund form.
- Before departing Israel through Ben Gurion Airport, simply present your purchase, invoice and VAT refund form at the VAT refund counter.
- Your refund will be processed at the VAT refund counter.
VAT Refund
The current Israeli VAT rate is 18%.
A standard processing fee of 4% of the refunded VAT amount is deducted by the VAT refund service. As a result, you will receive approximately 96% of the VAT paid.
Refund Options
You may choose to receive your refund:
- Credit card
- Cash
- Israeli Shekels (ILS)
- Euros (EUR)
- US Dollars (USD)
Important
- This service is available only to visitors who are neither Israeli citizens nor Israeli residents.
- Your purchase must be collected in Israel and leave the country with you.
- Purchases shipped directly outside Israel are not eligible for a VAT refund.
If you have any questions, our team will be happy to assist you throughout the VAT refund process.
