Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted November 26, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted November 26, 2021 This is a bit of a curly one. I was wondering if anyone has been able to claim the 18% VAT on a hair transplant in India? This is usually done at the airport prior to departing back home overseas for non Indian residents? Many thanks in advance. 👍 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SLA Posted November 26, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2021 If you had a note from your doctor explaining the distress caused to you by hair loss, you may be able to avoid. I heard this is the case in waiving the VAT in Belgium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will not work that way in Belgium, in Belgium is rule only if you get repair HT, then you can claim for VAT, otherwise no, cause all other cases, else repair HT are threated as esthetic surgery, and not essential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he is getting a repair from previous bad transplant no? 1 Check out my journey here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member blackislback Posted November 28, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2021 If remember yes, i just wrote about rule in Belgium, so it depend by regulations of specific country, maybe not same for India, but sure best way is to check what applies for India.
