Yes.....the store participates in the scheme, has all the necessary forms and don't charge for sales over £400-they don't suggest that they would retain any portion of the VAT but there again they don't say they won't...I'm none the wiser now- you are trying to put me off aren't you JG?:lol: https://www.parkcameras.com/faq- it is about halfway down- you probably won't read it though because they don't sell shoes :blink: We do operate the VAT reclaim scheme. However, completed VAT reclaim forms cannot be supplied for goods sent out by mail order. This is UK law but we are able to supply you with a form for purchases made in our branches. We supply this form free of charge for sales over £400. We have to see your passport and proof of address overseas and when you leave the country you need to get the form stamped at the airport and send the stamped form back to us. This bit? :p I'd send an email to their sales team and ask about any VAT retention. https://www.parkcameras.com/contact-us |

There are only certain stores who participate in the VAT refund scheme...i.e. M&S, Debs. Make sure the store you buy from is in the scheme. You must have your PP with you and the store fills in the paperwork complete with your PP details. You give this form in at the VAT office at the airport. You will have to ask whereabouts that is. The refund will either be sent on to you my mail or electronically.
You will not get the full amount of VAT refunded. Quite honestly if it were me for £800 I couldn't be bothered with the hassle. |
Re: Importing goods from overseas
I just ask the shop to give me 20% off to cover the VAT. If they don't, they can naff off.

Maybe that's because I usually caught an early flight from Manchester Airport and the VAT office was closed most times. There was a box on the door to leave the forms in. Stinky...the VAT office is located after you clear security. |

I have become an extremely law abiding pup when travelling- any hint of misdemeanours potentially jeopardizes our Nexus status- Snoop would actually kill:( me Doesn't anyone sell this thing at Duty Free? Is it possible, legal even, to contact one of the duty free stores and order it in? |

It is a bit niche - It was hard enough trying to track it down in Canada. I nearly had to order it from New York but a phone call to a camera store in Calgary thankfully came up trumps-despite the website saying that there was a 7-14 business day backlog, a phone call later, they had one in stock and are dispatching it to me hopefully later on today.-I will feedback with regard to arrival times, especially in relation to the online shopping thread. Happy pup!:thumbup:
