Hi - I'm after some advice from someone who has been thru the process please. Its for a large amount of money (for me anyway!), so those who have read about it somewhere or heard it from a mate at the coffee club etc - thanks, but I really do need some solid advice please.
I'm working at one of the International Organisations in Brussels. I'm back in the UK at the moment and want to buy a TV that will set me back ?500 and then take it back to Brussels for personal use, in my car & via the ferry to Belgium. How do I claim back the VAT? I know I need to get a receipt with my Belgian address on it, but is there somewhere at the Hull ferry port for me to submit the receipt? Do I claim the VAT back from Customs&Excise or is it simply a case of getting the form stamped at the port and then somehow claiming the VAT back from the shop that I am buying the item from? Grateful for knowhow from any experienced mums netters. I've googled an old thread about doing it via the airport and carrying it as hand luggage, but that's not relevant to my circumstances.
Oh, and the reason why I'm buying in the UK is because the shop gives great, long warranties which will still be valid when I return to UK in a couple of years time.
