elrich Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 A couple of years ago I went shopping in Texas and was able to get a refund on the taxes I paid (over $50 per store if I remember correctlly). Is this still in effect? I am going with the LCS on their bus trip next month and plan on shopping 'til I drop so it would be nice to not give them any more money than I have to.

Ginger Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yes. There's a refund place about a block from the Chico's store & according to this site at Macy's in McAllen. http://www.taxfreetexas.com/refundcenters.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaChula Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think if you have an AARP card, you can get some discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hensley Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 So how do you prove the purchases are leaving the US? It sounds like it needs to been done with air travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maw7815 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 (U.S. Citizens may only process at airport locations on day of departure.) Looks like only non Americans can get a tax refund if crossing the boarder by bus or car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
