Is there any tax refund when traveling and shopping in the UK?

Omeijia International Travel Network reminds you

When shopping in the UK, you must pay 17.5% value-added tax. All tourists from outside the EU can apply for a tax refund before departure. However, you can only apply for a tax refund within three weeks of shopping and before leaving the EU (or the UK) and returning to China. Service consumption, such as restaurant meals and hotel accommodation, cannot be claimed for tax refund.

After shopping at a store marked with tax-free shopping (TAXFREE SHOPPING), ask for a tax refund form from the store, and also know the minimum purchase amount of the store. Before leaving the EU (or the UK) and returning to China, please show your purchased goods, receipt and passport to the customs officer and have the officer stamp your receipt.

(If the goods you purchased cannot be carried with you, it is recommended that you contact the airline or shipping company
