How can I claim my tax refund when leaving France by the Eurostar?

Question

I'm going to buy some items in France and I'd like to claim a tax refund when leaving this country. However, I'm not leaving Paris by plane, but by the Eurostar in my way to London. In London I'll take a flight to the US. What should I do to claim it?

Answer 1

The merchant will give you the forms, which need to be filled out by the customs agency of the country of the European Union from which you are leaving Europe. Thus you will need to do this at the London airport, prior to boarding your flight to the US.

Answer 2

hi, Your pension fund ought to offer you returned a minimum of what you have paid in. Have a observe including your "human supplies" bod. uk tax paid in £ sterling, while working right here validly, and not being paid remote places is grabbed by the Treasury, and not recoverable. Howver, you won't be able to be double taxed on uk earnings in NZ, because it somewhat is offshore earnings we are all on a sticky wicket including your quandary. in case you had made an affiliation to be payed $NZ into an remote places account, then you somewhat does not be in charge for the united kingdom person-friendly tax, yet then you somewhat would prefer to confuse the NZ taxman as to the place the money got here from ! interior the united kingdom tax avoidance is honest play, wheras tax evasion is criminal. i does not carry out any wish of the taxman returning earnings case you have been on a valid uk settlement of employement. besides, say hi to the Commodore of the Wellington Yacht club on your return. he's a much off relative, and has precisely the comparable call as me.
