VAT refunds
If you are visiting from a non-European Union country, you can reclaim the sales tax (VAT) on purchases from a number of British retailers.
If you buy from shops displaying the Tax Free Shopping sign you will be given a tax refund form at the shop – keep it along with your receipt.
Then, when you get to the airport, take your receipt and form to the Travelex counter – and they will pay your tax refund in cash.
You can even have your refund paid in your own currency – just ask when you get to the desk.
For further details, call +44 (0)8702 405 405 or visit the Travelex website.
