Hi, does anybody know if I can use my debit card to receive the tax refund? I prefer cash refund but Hermes only allow cc refund.

I’m not planning to bring along my cc, will be paying by cash or debit card.

Pls help. Thank you.
 
For those need a tax refund at CDG, do you remember if the scanning including the tax refund form, passport and boarding pass, or just a passport and tax refund form were sufficient ( ie boarding pass not required?)

Thanks a lot for you sharing!

I have just de-taxed my C24 in CDG. Only had to scan the form (no passport) and got the green ✅ Didn’t even have to go to the customs person. But it’s random. When I de-taxed my K32 earlier this year, the scanning machine asked me to go to the Customs Officer for inspection and I had to present my passport there as well. Generally though large receipts rarely get the green tick at the scanning machine.
 
Thank you so much! A friend asked me the details, I can’t remember her question re the boarding pass albeit I have done the scanning thing in the summer. This is very helpful!
