Can you get VAT refund after leaving Europe?

Can you get a VAT refund after leaving Europe? Yes, you have to leave Europe to claim your VAT refund. If you merely cross a border within the European Union, you won't be eligible: the items have to leave the taxable area, not just the country where you purchased them, in order to count as an export.

Can you claim VAT back when leaving the UK?

If you are visiting Britain, you can sometimes reclaim this VAT cost before you leave. You do this through HMRC's Retail Export Scheme, also known as tax-free shopping. It only applies to goods you buy in the UK to take home to another country. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to services.
