If you are visiting the UK and are not a resident of the EU, then you can claim back all the tax (VAT) that you would have paid on your purchases during your stay.

Countries and regions that ARE in the EU and that this therefore does not apply to are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, The Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

As you are the much valued international customer, you will be able to choose how you receive the VAT back from your transactions, however different shops will usually refund a different percentage of the VAT.

You can make a claim in 3 easy steps:

Step one: collect your appropriate VAT receipt at point of purchase in the store.

Step two: on departure, present your appropriate receipt including your goods, your passport and shop receipt to Customs for validation.

Step 3: After validation from customs at the airport, collect your VAT refund from a cash refund office in the currency of your choosing.
