[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a big shopper and haven't needed to do this yet, but my friend told me you can get back the VAT (tax) you pay for purchases in some parts of Europe, definitely London I think.[/quote] The trick with VAt is that you have to go over a certain dollar amount at one store. So if you’re buying something expensive see if there’s anything else you want at that store. I got a leather jacket in Italy and added on a wallet and belt because I knew I could get the vat back.[/quote] Also, you must tell the clerk at the point of purchase that you are applying for the VAT refund so they can fill out the forms (which you usually turn in at the airport, before security -- save time for this), and you MUST have your passport with you at the store. You can get the VAT refund throughout the EU. It is a great place to buy leather goods, perfume, crystal stemware, etc.[/quote]
