Swiss tax refund at Chiasso station?
Jenner needs advice about getting a tax refund after shopping in Lucerne before heading to Italy by train. They want to know where to get the tax refund stamp, particularly if it's possible at Chiasso station before traveling to Milan.
- You can get your tax refund stamp at the customs office in Chiasso station, which is open 24 hours.
- Check the 'Refund of Swiss VAT' link for a list of locations for tax refunds across Switzerland.
- Make sure to arrive before the customs office closes if you're traveling close to that time.

Hi Jenner,
The link “Refund of Swiss VAT” on http://www.myswissalps.com/aboutswitzerland/practical/websites provides details and a link to a list of locations. As far as I remember, there is a customs office at the train station in Chiassio, but to make sure, please have a look at the link above.

OMG I just realized this issue and found this office is only open until 5 or 5:30PM? Is there anyway to stamp after hours?
Hi xzzhu22,
Some customs office at large border crossings are open 24hours and staffed by border guards. In Chiasso, the custom office is open 24 hours.
