Any foreign tourist from outside the EU is entitled to shop at Tax Free shops in London and UK. Generally the shops display the logos ‘Tax free’ and it is at these places that you are entitled for a refund of the value added tax that you have paid on the purchases. To be entitled to the tax refund in the European Union, the visitor should not be a resident of any of the EU countries. And that is the basic reason why people are crazy about shopping in the London and UK.
