2. Students or staff holding overseas passports who have been away from the UK and the EU for more than 12 months.

PS: I once read on the Internet that a classmate complained about a tax refund for returning to China for Christmas vacation. Then when I returned to the UK after the vacation, I was told that my visa was invalid and I was prohibited from entering. Although I couldn’t be sure whether the news was true or not, I returned to my country for vacation. Students should not take the risk of tax refund, wait until they complete their studies to enjoy the tax refund discount!

2. Make sure the merchant provides tax-free shopping services

3. Request the store to provide a tax refund form

04 Tax refund method

Cash tax refund:

Cash tax refund is the safest way and can be received in time. However, the disadvantage is that each tax refund form will be charged a handling fee (minimum ?2.7 per form), and there are many people during peak periods. It is recommended to go early for tax refund. .

Credit card tax refund:

The advantage of credit card tax refund is that you will not be charged a cash handling fee. You only need to fill in the card number on the tax refund form (it does not have to be your own). But the disadvantage is that the arrival time is a bit slow, and there are options of 2 months, 3 months, and 10 months! You don’t have to worry, you can write down the order number of each Global Blue tax refund form and track the tax refund status in real time.

Check tax refund:

It is best not to choose this option, as it takes a long time and is troublesome. Foreign checks sometimes are not recognized by domestic banks due to name issues, which can be very troublesome in the future.

　05 Tax refund location

Airport tax refund location:

Heathrow Airport, Gatwick Airport, Edinburgh Airport, Glasgow Airport, Manchester Airport, Birmingham Airport

PS: Airport tax rebates are refunded at different windows based on the value of the items. Taking Heathrow as an example, generally small items are tax refunded outside, but items exceeding 250 pounds, such as designer bags , electronic products, jewelry, etc. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the difference. After everyone arrives at the airport, go to the tax refund window outside to refund. Then the staff will classify the tax refund items and tell them which ones can be refunded inside.

The airport tax refund office may be particularly busy at certain times. To be on the safe side, please allow at least 3 hours of queuing time in advance.

Avoid consignment before tax refund, because customs will inspect the tax refunded goods.

Bind with Alipay tax refund, and you can receive the tax refund in as fast as 10 working days. The tax refund will be automatically converted into RMB and entered into the Alipay account, and the tax refund status can also be tracked in real time.
