Lush is headquartered in Poole, UK, but UK VAT refunds for tourists ended with Brexit, so London is no longer the tax-advantaged destination it once was. The strongest case is now European Lush stores (France, Germany, Italy) where standard VAT refunds still apply, though most individual bath bomb or soap purchases fall below VAT minimums without consolidation.

No. VAT refunds are only available for in-store purchases made in Europe. Online orders shipped internationally are already VAT-exempt.
High-value items (typically over €1,000) may require physical inspection at customs. Keep your purchase in carry-on luggage, not checked bags.
You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination.
With TravelMoney, refunds are processed instantly once validated at customs. Standard tax-free services can take 4-12 weeks.
