"Application form" paper materials for foreign travelers to use when they apply for tax refunds by virtue of the "foreign passenger purchase of specific goods tax refund application form" paper materials.

However, if the foreign passenger loses the paper information of the "Application Form for Tax Refund for Purchase of Certain Goods by Foreign Tourists", the tax refund will not be processed, resulting in monetary loss for the foreign tourists. In addition, for follow-up inspection, these paper materials still need to be stored for future reference. For example, if a dispute arises in the future and needs to be checked, the customs unit will need to access these paper materials in order to clarify the facts. However, after the accumulation of paper materials over time, their quantity will become larger and larger, and customs units need to make more space to store these paper materials, causing pressure on inventory. In addition, whenever there is a need to check and access these paper materials, the customs unit needs to perform the search operation manually. This will not only consume manpower but also waste time. In addition, since the "Application Form for Tax Rebates for Foreign Customers to Purchase Certain Goods" is in paper form, today's pursuit of paperlessness and emphasis on environmental protection does not meet the current trend of carbon reduction.

Therefore, how to solve the problems of the conventional technology has become a major issue for those skilled in the art.

In the foregoing tax refund platform, the barcode of the application is a one-dimensional barcode (Barcode) or a two-dimensional barcode (QR code).

The present invention further provides a tax refund system, including: a tax refund platform as described above; a tax refund service website for receiving the at least one tax refund detail information; A merchant sales terminal is used to transmit at least one tax refund detailed information to the tax refund platform and the tax refund service website; and a mobile communication device receives an application barcode generated by the tax refund platform to display the application barcode.

In the aforementioned tax refund system, the tax refund service website uses the tax refund detailed information to compare with the application barcode. If the comparison is successful, the tax refund declaration is completed.

In the foregoing tax refund system, the mobile communication device receives tax refund amount data generated by the tax refund platform to display the tax refund amount data.

The present invention further provides a tax refund method. The method includes: receiving at least one tax refund detailed information through a communication module; generating a tax refund amount data corresponding to the tax refund detailed information through a control module; and generating a corresponding response through a code generating module. An application barcode for the tax refund amount information, and the application barcode is stored in a database for the tax refund counter or the customs to verify or check based on the application barcode.

In the aforementioned tax refund platform, system and method, the communication module further includes receiving an electronic signature with the tax refund details information.

The aforementioned tax refund platform, system, and method further include generating an inspection barcode corresponding to the application barcode through the barcode generation module.
