If you're shopping from outside the UK, you may be eligible for tax-free shopping, which can save you money on your purchases. Here's how it works:
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax that's charged on most goods and services sold in the UK. The standard VAT rate in the UK is currently 20%, but some items are charged at a reduced rate of 5%, and some are exempt from VAT altogether.
When you shop in the UK, you'll usually be charged VAT on your purchases. However, if you're visiting the UK from outside the EU, or you're a resident of a non-EU country, you may be eligible for tax-free shopping.
It's important to note that not all retailers offer tax-free shopping, and some may charge a fee for processing the refund. It's also worth checking the rules and regulations for tax-free shopping in your home country, as some countries have restrictions on what can be claimed as a tax refund.
