  • Before luggage check-in, have goods, original receipts and retailer-signed tax-free forms ready for export validation. Ask the refund desk whether customs stamping is required.
  • Calendar-month planning dates use the matching day three months later, or the last day of a shorter month. Confirm a month-end deadline with customs.
  • The estimate uses invoice VAT less your entered fees, floored at zero. It is not an approved refund.

This is a general estimate for information only, not tax, legal or financial advice. Real rules have more conditions than a calculator can show, so check the official source below or a qualified professional for your situation.

How it works

Official guidance requires at least ISK12,000 on each receipt and export within three months. Receipts are checked separately. The original commencement date of the current minimum was not established; these are the rules checked on November 14, 2026.

Estimate = max(0, sum of invoice VAT on passing receipts − entered fees)

No merchandise VAT rate is assumed. Use the tax attributable to eligible goods, not an operator’s already-net refund amount. Fees are an editable example, not a quoted tariff. Money displays two decimals without rounding intermediate sums. Calendar months use the matching day, clamped to month-end; confirm a borderline date with customs.

Worked examples

One receipt, entered fee

A November 1, 2026 receipt of ISK12,400 with ISK2,400 VAT passes for departure November 14. An example ISK400 fee gives an estimated ISK2,000. The planning deadline is February 1, 2027.

Receipts cannot be pooled

Two receipts of ISK6,200 each, with ISK1,200 VAT each, both fail. Their combined ISK12,400 does not satisfy the per-receipt rule; estimated refund is zero.

Frequently asked questions

Does exactly ISK12,000 pass?
Yes, the receipt minimum is inclusive.
Can residents of Iceland claim?
This scheme is for people resident outside Iceland. Nationality alone does not establish eligibility.
What should I prepare at Keflavik?
Keep goods, original receipts and retailer-signed forms available before luggage check-in. Obtain export validation and follow the refund desk’s instructions.
Is this the amount the operator will pay?
No. It is invoice VAT minus the fees you enter. Check the operator’s quote and validation requirements.
