Maldives' main VAT rate is 6%. Your total gross purchase amounts will be summed and rounded to the nearest Rufiyaa. From this total, the total amount of VAT refund will be calculated, based on the 6% standard VAT rate in Maldives. For example: 

€100 euros spent (incl. 6% VAT) = €94.00 base price + €6.00 VAT paid
