Shop at Stream & Field Jewellers, tell our shop assistants you are a visitor from a non-EU country and would like to use the Deposit System.
The shop assistant will then split the purchase amount into two parts:

a. The purchase amount excluding 19% VAT: will be paid directly (cash, creditcard, debitcard or cheques)

b. The 19%VAT amount: will be put on your credit card (you will need to have a credit card), this is the Tax Deposit. This Tax Deposit on your credit card will not be sent to your credit card company and thus you will not be charged for the VAT amount* .
You will receive one original invoice and one copy of the invoice for your own reference.

When leaving the EU at your final airport of departure, go to the customs. Simply show the following items:

1) your purchases, 2) original invoice and 3) your passport.

Custom will stamp the original invoice. Make sure it has been stamped on the original invoice by custom to have it export validated.

Finally mail the original stamped invoice back to us with the envelope provided. Once we have received the stamped invoice, the Tax Deposit will be discarded.

* note: If we do not receive the stamped invoice within 3 months, we will send the Tax Deposit to the credit card company and you will be charged for the VAT amount. It is not possible to get the VAT back anymore !! (according to the Dutch Law)
