    Hi,

    Thanks for creating such forums to assist the tourists. This is really very helpful.

    I will be traveling to Basel from London for 3 days.

    Please advise if I can claim VAT refund on goods if I buy from Swiss? and if yes how to claim that.

    Regards
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,

    Glad you’re finding it useful here! It only works on goods (not services like hotels, transport), and from a minimal amount. Hence I never qualified myself 🙂
