Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2480666A] Validation of one or more transactions for a service is facilitated through the use of a RFID technology. A validation station (22) includes an RFID reader for contactless reading of an RFID tag (240) proximate to the RFID reader reading an RFID tag. The validation station responds to the contactless reading of an RFID identifier of an RFID tag to cause retrieval of transaction information for transactions recorded in transaction records associated with the RFID identifier for validation of a tax refund in respect of the transactions.
