Hi GA,
We aren’t too familiar with what is required because we’ve never shopped there (only visited and walked through the shops). From talking with others, I think you are supposed to go one day and get a paper that allows you to shop tax free the next day. This encourages tourism for the town by making people stay a night. But we’ve also heard that there are people who sell the papers so that you can shop the same day. Maybe someone else can comment on this or if you get the latest info, you could report back to us. I’m sure you aren’t the only one that is curious.
