Tax return to foreign tourists

14 years ago
Starting from 2011 Ecuador starts returning the tax,IVA,consumer tax, to foreign tourists
They do that to promote tourism.At Guayaquil and Quito airport they will put a box.In here you deposit a copy of your passport,a copy of the bill and your request form.Refunding starts at $50.So ask for a bill with IVA on it.Think about hotel,flight to Galapagos etc.Here is the link:
