A 1: For shops that can get tax refund, tax exemption will be written at the door or cashier (sometimes even in Chinese). If you don't see it, ask the clerk if I can be duty-free. However, children's clothes, books and food are tax-free in Britain, so they are not applicable to the tax refund scheme.
Q2: Who can enjoy the tax refund policy?
A2: Passengers from non-EU countries can apply for tax refund when they come to Britain for consumption. If you hold a student visa, you must prove that you have been away from the EU for more than 12 months before you can get a tax refund. Moreover, if you want to refund the purchased goods, you must leave the store within three months.
Question 3: How much does the tax refund cost?
A3: Most stores are required to be full? More than 50 yuan (about NT$ 2,400), because if it does not exceed this amount, frankly speaking, there is no money to refund it.
Q4: Can the receipt accumulate tax refund?
A4: Yes, the tax refund can be made through the cumulative receipt, which can not only reduce the time of filling out the tax refund form and waiting in line for the tax refund, but also save a lot of handling fees (if cash is to be refunded) * The so-called cumulative tax refund is: 1. You can hold different consumption receipts in the same brand store (or different branches) within three months, so please ask the store to help you accumulate all the receipts in the same tax refund form.
2. If you spend in a department store, you can put the receipts of different stores in the department store together.
When friends and relatives shop together, they can add up all the receipts for tax refund. )
Q5: How much can I get back after tax refund?
A5: The value-added tax in Britain is 17.5%, but it actually drops to around 8%- 12%, but it is almost 10% off. Every store is slightly different. Usually, when you get the tax refund form, it will show the refund at the bottom, which is the correct amount you can refund.
Q6: Should the tax refund be made in cash or by credit card?
A6: I usually advise customers and my family and friends to return cash, although there is an extra handling fee.
2.75 (about NT$ 150), but you can get the money immediately, which is more reassuring (you can choose what currency to return when you arrive at the airport, and sometimes you can return it if you have NT). If you choose to return your credit card, please provide the correct card number in the tax refund form. The tax refund will be received within one to three months, but if it is not received, it will be very troublesome. You must call or write an email to check for yourself. The whole world knows that the British are slow, so it is safer to return cash.
* * But there are exceptions, if the amount you can refund is small, such as? 2. The cash handling fee is
2.75. At this time, just choose to return the card (I always joke with my customers that if I want to return the cash in this way, I have to pay 75P more to the British government).
Q7: What are the tax refund companies in the UK?
A7: The seventh point is very important, because many tourists don't know it. British tax refund companies include.
Global Blue Alliance, Top Duty Free, Global Duty Free, UK Duty Free.
Most stores cooperate with global blue companies. What is the uniform handling fee for cash refund? 2.75. The other three companies have no uniform charging standard (based on the amount signed by the brand and its company).
In addition, if the envelope on which you get the tax refund says Global Blue Alliance Company, you can directly take your passport and tax refund form to the following address in central London to get the tax refund and get the cash back, so you don't have to wait until you go to the airport to get the cash back.
International currency exchange
339 Oxford Street, London W 1, W 1C 2JB London
Subway passengers should get off at Oxford Square or Bond Street (about three minutes' walk).
Question 8: If I still want to spend money in other European countries, how can I get a tax refund?
A8: The tax refund is made in the last country where you leave the country, so if you go shopping in Britain, Holland, Germany and other places today, but you finally want to fly back to Taiwan Province Province from France, the goods bought in various countries will be refunded in France.
Question 9: If I want to get a tax refund, how long will it take to get to the airport in advance?
A9: As it is the peak tourist season from 1 month to September, queuing is really terrible. The queues are mostly masked Middle Easterners and China people who are good at buying, but the Middle Easterners who wear headscarves still win. Usually, everyone thinks they have at least 50 tax refund forms in their hands. The longest time I wait with my family is two and a half hours. Friends even waited for three and a half hours, and some friends missed it when they got on the plane. So, if the refund amount is large.
Q 10: Do I need to show the purchased goods when I refund the tax at the airport?
A 10: actually, there are many people who refund taxes. They really don't have time to check what you bought with the receipt. Unless you really bought something expensive, just to be on the safe side, remember to take the items to be refunded with you first, or put them all in the same suitcase for easy inspection. In addition, special goods, such as expensive watches, jewelry, and electronic products such as cameras or iphone, can only be refunded after boarding the plane.
Q 1 1: how to fill in the tax refund form?
A 1 1: finally, I want to tell you that it is really easy to fill out the tax refund form, just answer the following questions:
Passport number: Passport number
Passport issuer: passport
Address: Fill in your home address. To tell you the truth, I will fill in this box randomly, because the box is too small and the address of Taiwan Province Province is too long. I will probably write a road name, followed by Taipei City, Taiwan Province and the postal code (you can write anything you want, just don't accidentally fill in the address of a European country).
Date of arrival: the first day of arrival in Europe.
Departure date: The day you leave Europe is the day you return to your flight.
Final destination: Final destination.
Credit card number: Please provide the card number of the refund.
Singnature: Just sign your name at the end.
