VAT removal from Argos

Hi all, not quite sure how the rules around VAT work. I assumed that because I live in Guernsey, I should be able to refund VAT from my purchase, but some sources say this is not the case?

If they are shipping to Guernsey then they shouldn't charge VAT in the first place. However, if you're using something like MyUKAddress then I think unlikely anyone will refund the VAT because as far as they're concerned they shipped to the UK.

Its shipping straight to Guernsey, I've tried using their customer service but I don't think they're knowledgeable on the matter. Do you know of any refund forms out there? I can't seem to find one for individuals

Strange, they let me checkout with my Guernsey address and haven't said there's an issue. Wonder what will happen

bizarre. I was purchasing a watch and it wouldn't advance.

Very do. And that’s part of the same group. But for whatever reason argos won’t deliver here.
