Reclaiming VAT on items exported from PT to UK

Post new topic

Strontium

Hi,

I have previously reclaimed VAT on items bought in EU (France) and taken out of the EU (UK) using the PABLO kiosks at Calais ferry port.    Anyone know how the process of reclaiming VAT works for things bought in Portugal and taken to the UK ?

First of all, where are you resident? Your profile doesn't look right either... ...

Are you resident in the UK? ...

Currently resident in UK so easy to buy stuff in France and reclaim VAT at Calais ferry terminal when exporting it (ie. getting on the ferry).
