VAT ~Refund

[xtreemneo]

Hello,

I have recently purchased a VAIO laptop from Sony education outlet.

I am looking to leave UK on March 14 from London.

It would be really helpful if someone can provide me more information on how Sony processes VAT refund?

I am ready to send a copy of my tickets to someone who can process the UK VAT 407 form from Sony.

Thanks,

Hi xtreemneo,

I assume this was an internet purchase?

VAT cannot be reclaimed on mail order goods, including Internet sales. The following HMRC document provides further information.
