The "12.5% service charge" you see all over London would beg to differ.

- sacnoradhq 3y agoHaven't been there in a while, but I was able to collect VAT refunds a LHR. Is that on top of VAT?
- t3rabytes 3y agoThe UK is an oddball now -- VAT-free shopping for non-UK citizens ended in 2021. You can still do it in (most?) EU member states though.
- brewdad 3y agoYou can’t collect a VAT refund on services, only goods purchased and leaving the country. The VAT on your restaurant bill is non refundable.
- heimidal 3y agoYes, it's on top of VAT. It's usually "discretionary", meaning you can ask to have it taken off the bill, but you must ask and it usually results in being glared at.
