NOW you can be bougie on a budget in South Korea with the newly introduced 10 percent tax refund for international travelers.
The terms:
All non-Korean visitors who stay at one of the selected hotels for longer than two nights and less than 30 days, can reclaim 10 percent of the tax on the booking.
While travelers can only stay at each of the hotels for 30 days, the tax rebate can be offered for travelers remaining in the country for up three months.
The hotel tax refund includes pre-paid breakfast at the hotel, but guests won’t be able to claim any additional services charged to the room.
So, think twice before ordering that vintage bottle of Moet and side of caviar.
How to claim your tax back:
- Upon check-in, request a tax refund guide and a tax refund checklist.
- Enjoy your stay.
- Upon check-out, submit the hotel tax refund checklist and receive a tax refund form.
- Guests can then either claim the refund from the hotel itself or find one of the tax refund centers in town.
The hotels:
A full list of hotels included in the tax refund can be found on the Visit Korea page.
