Took half of my tax refund in Japan as fees. If you can, I recommend finding another shop that sells the same item that doesn't use Pie Vat. Many shops in Japan will just charge you the tax free price when you show your passport and you're done. The process for Pie Vat is also much more complicated and the app is buggy. Had to upload photos of my passport to the app, queue up again after purchase, just for the staff to scan my passport? Complicated and bloated process

Fast, modern tax refunds (use your phone) without the need to send paperwork by post, and a higher tax refund amount. Easy to use app that guides you through every step - a good customer experience and we hope to use Pie again.
