Although currently it is not possible to get a tax refund in the UK, you can still get a tax refund when traveling to Europe from the UK! Many people have already started applying for Schengen visas, so it's important for first-time travelers to understand the process of tax refunds. 1. Tax Refund Requirements First, there is a requirement regarding the time of purchase. The right to apply for a VAT refund expires three months after the date of purchase, and you must have left the country to enjoy the tax refund. For example, if you plan to leave Europe on any day in April, the products you want to get a tax refund for must have been purchased after January 1st. Second, you need to confirm if the merchant provides tax refund services. This means paying attention to the words "VAT Refund" or "Tax Refund" while shopping, and if necessary, you can ask the store staff if they offer tax refund services. Generally, large shopping malls and brand counters will have tax refund signs, but it's still important to be cautious and double-check. Third, pay attention to the minimum spending requirement. Each country has different minimum spending requirements for tax refunds. For example, it may be required to reach a certain total amount within a single shopping mall, but this standard is not uniform across the entire EU. So, it's a good idea to ask the store staff what the minimum spending requirement is to enjoy the tax refund. After shopping, don't forget to ask the store for a tax refund form and the purchase invoice. 2. Tax Refund Process First, you need to go to the customs office at your last destination to process the tax refund. Whether you are leaving the EU by train, ship, or plane, you must go through the customs office.
