In Britain, the minimum expenditure needed to qualify for a refund on value-added tax is £50 ($95). Not every single store honors this minimum, but it's far easier to qualify for a tax refund in Britain than almost any other country in the European Union.
VAT RECLAIM
HMCE have VAT desks for handling refund claims in each of the international landside departure areas. Of course this only applies to good being taken outside of the EU (European Union). To claim back VAT you must buy your goods from a retailer who advertises that they are part of retail export scheme.
Some requirements for using this scheme:
You must make the purchase in person and complete the VAT 407 form at the place of purchase
the items you buy must be exported from the EC by the last day of the third month following that in which the goods were purchased
You must get the VAT 407 form stamped by Her majesty's Custom and Excise and send evidence of this to the place of purchase of the goods or the company handling the refund.
How to Get Your VAT Refund--You must get your VAT refund form from the retailer. Several readers have reported that merchants have told them they can get refund forms at the airport as they leave the country. This is not true. Don't leave the store without a form -- it must be completed by the retailer on the spot. After you have asked if the store does VAT refunds and determined their minimum, request the paperwork.
Global Refund (www.taxfree.se) is your best bet for getting VAT refunds at the airport. Shop where you see the Global Refund Tax-Free Shopping sign, and ask for a Global Refund Tax-Free check when you purchase your items.
Fill out your form and then present it -- with the goods, receipts, and passports -- at the Customs office in the airport. Allow a half-hour to stand in line. Remember: You're required to show the goods, so put them in your carry-on.
Once the paperwork has been stamped, you have two choices: You can mail the papers (remember to bring a stamp) and receive your refund as a British check (no!) or a credit card refund (yes!), or go to the Cash VAT Refund desk at the airport and get your refund in cash. Know that if you accept cash other than British pounds, you will lose money on the conversion.
Many stores charge a fee for processing your refund, so £3 to £5 ($5.70-$9.50) may be deducted from the total you receive. But since the VAT in Britain is 17.5%, it's worth the trouble to get the money back.
Note: If you're heading to other countries in the European Union, you should file all of your VAT refunds at once at your final E.U. destination.
