Du kan bare kj\u00f8pe varer uten mva der hvis butikken leverer dem direkte til en adresse utenfor Storbritannia. Shopping under ditt Storbritannia-ferie kan f\u00f8les overveldende n\u00e5r du oppdager de ulike m\u00e5tene \u00e5 spare penger p\u00e5 kj\u00f8p. Mange reisende blander fortsatt avgiftsfritt shopping med mva-refusjon i Storbritannia og forventer \u00e5 f\u00e5 mva tilbake p\u00e5 flyplassen, noe som ikke lenger er mulig i Storbritannia. \u00c5 forst\u00e5 disse sparemekanismene hjelper familier og par med \u00e5 maksimalisere kj\u00f8psbudsjettet sitt mens de utforsker Britannias detaljhandelsdestinasjon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MVA (merverdiavgift) representerer en 20 % skatt som p\u00e5legges de fleste varer solgt i Storbritannia. Imidlertid kan bes\u00f8kende ikke lenger kreve tilbake MVA p\u00e5 varer kj\u00f8pt i England, Skottland og Wales og transportert hjem i bagasjen; en begrenset refusjonsordning gjenst\u00e5r bare i Nord-Irland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kan turister f\u00e5 MVA-refusjon i Storbritannia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Siden 1. januar 2021 kan turister ikke kreve tilbake 20 % MVA p\u00e5 varer kj\u00f8pt i England, Skottland og Wales og tatt med hjem i bagasjen, fordi MVA Retail Export Scheme ble trukket tilbake. Det finnes ingen erstatningsordning drevet av forretninger eller refusjonsselskaper: det eneste MVA-frie alternativet i England, Skottland og Wales er at butikken sender kj\u00f8pene dine direkte til en adresse utenfor Storbritannia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hvis du handler i Nord-Irland, kontroller f\u00f8r du betaler at forhandleren deltar i ordningen og vil utstede et papirskjema MVA407.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hvem kvalifiserer for momsrefusjon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berettigelse avhenger f\u00f8rst av hvor du handler.
