The UK government is reviewing a policy to reintroduce tax-free shopping for overseas visitors, according to Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative party leader. This policy was abolished in 2021 after the UK left the European Union. The proposal suggests it could attract 2.35 million additional visitors and generate £4.1bn in additional spending. The initial phase would only apply to shoppers from outside the EU and would exclude airport stores.

The move is intended to mitigate revenue loss and boost the UK's appeal as a shopping destination for international travelers. Business leaders have previously warned that the 2021 abolition of the tax-free shopping scheme damaged the UK's standing with international travelers.
