Tax question
Hello all.
Can I buy a Rolex in say Amsterdam airport and then claim the vat back as I am a uk citizen, then return to the uk and pay the uk vat on my return to the uk? Would this work out at the watch being roughly the same price? |

You should direct your question to HMRC, not TRF.

1 yes and 2 you should yes (but I suspect many just walk through the green lane and hope)

The VAT should be factored into the cost of the purchase, which, to be fair, is what I think the OP is trying to figure out. |
