Any foreign tourist from outside the EU is entitled to shop at Tax Free shops in London and UK. Generally the shops display the logos 'Tax free' and it is at these places that you are entitled for a refund of the value added tax that you have paid on the purchases. To be entitled to the tax refund in the European Union, the visitor should not be a resident of any of the EU countries. And that is the basic reason why people are crazy about shopping in the London and UK.
You can claim the tax you've paid on your purchases back only when you spend a minimum amount in a participating shop. This minimum amount varies from shop to shop and from country to country. When you've made your purchases and spent at least the minimum amount to qualify for your tax refund, you will have to get your tax-free cheque stamped at customs on your way out of the country. Once you have had it stamped and approved there are many ways for you to claim your tax back, many people have the refund credited to a card or directly to their bank account.
Shopping in the UK has never been so interesting for people from outside the EU and next time you visit UK or London, make sure you carry a separate provision to store all the things that you have purchased in the tax free shops.
Tax free shopping is as simple as this...once the purchase is over ask for a refund cheque, get the stamp by the customs before the final departure from the European Union and when you show your passport, credit card and the refund cheque at the nearest refund office, you can get the amount into your account.
