The UK currently allows tax-free shopping relief. This allows visitors from outside the EU who come to the UK for less than 3 months and purchase goods from participating retail stores to claim the VAT back. From the start of 2021 this relief more correctly known as the VAT Retail Export Scheme has been abolished. While this is not directly connected with the EU and Brexit negotiations, it seems that the UK has used Brexit as a very convenient date in order to scrap tax-free shopping.
