you mention this Horizon card. it makes sense, really. however, do my husband and I each have to apply for the card, or will we have identical cards?
Hi Kathleen.
The Horizon Card is just one of three different ways to receive your VAT (see this article about understanding the VAT). You receive it from the first retailer you make a purchase from who uses this system – and then continue to use it throughout your trip. You and your husband may share a card, or you may have separate cards, though they will not have the same number and both would need to be registered – one to each of you.
I hope that helps!
