Tax refund for flights from the Netherlands

The Netherlands removed their air passenger tax on 1 July 2009. If you bought a ticket before 1 July with contains a flight from the Netherlands for travel on or after 1 July, then you may be eligible for a refund. Note there was no tax charged for transits under 24 hours at Amsterdam.

The tax was €45 for longhaul and €11.25 for shorthaul.

If you paid the tax then you're entitled to claim a full refund from your airline or travel agent. Airlines should not be deducting a service fee to process the refund.

If you have a breakdown of taxes paid (eg on paper tickets these appear in a few lines near the bottom) look for the tax code KV.
