secondly few of the items i hav bought is nearly 3 months prior to my flight am i still under the three month limit of claiming the vat?
pls help..pls provide reference if possible. thanks
No, you can’t if you only plan to leave the country for three weeks.
If you live in the EU, you may be able to obtain a VAT refund if you are planning to leave the EU for at least 12 months.
If you’re studying in the UK, you may be able to obtain a VAT refund if you’re planning to leave the EU for at least 12 months.
You must:
• leave the UK for a destination outside the EU – with the goods you have bought – by the end of the third month after the month when you bought them (for example, goods purchased on 3 February would have to be exported by 31 May)
• stay outside the EU for at least 12 months
• show customs officials the goods, your receipts for them and a completed VAT refund document when you leave the EU
