The system is set to go live in the fourth quarter of 2018 and will apply to purchases made on goods at “participating retailers.” The cabinet said that the move was intended to support the growth of tourism.
The refund system will only be eligible to those travelling to the UAE from outside Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
