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.

Therefore countries that are in the EU do not qualify for this. These countries and regions include: 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.

Different companies will usually offer different percentages of the VAT back and as the much valued international customer you will more often than not be able to choose how you VAT is refunded.

There are three easy steps to making your claim.

Step one: Pick up a VAT receipt when you make a purchase at any store.

Step two: When you’re leaving, present your VAT receipts, along with the actual shop receipts, the goods themselves and your passport to Customs so they can validate it.

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