To receive your tax refund, you must declare the unused and sealed (if applicable) goods at a customs office. This procedure must be done when leaving the European Union. You must also present the customs officer with the original receipt of your purchased good(s), your easy2tax voucher and your passport.
Transit / connecting flights within the EU:
If you are leaving the European Union from Vienna Airport but have a connecting flight at another airport within the European Union, your goods must be transported in your checked baggage.
