Tax refund on short trips to US?
« on: February 21, 2005, 09:41:20 PM »
I'm an American expat in the UK and was just told by a friend that I can have my tax on purchases in the US refunded if I'm there for short periods.  I'm about to go for a week so hoping this is true.  Anyone have an idea about this?

Thanks,
Adrian

No, tax on purchases in the US is sales tax, not VAT, and there is no provision for the refund of sales tax.
