Cadogan CEO slams removal of tax-free shopping as 'regressive'

摘要

Cadogan Estates chief executive Hugh Seaborn has said he is "very concerned" about the impact of the government's withdrawal of tax-free shopping for international vistitors, particularly in London's prime retail spots. The UK is now the only European country without a tax-free shopping scheme, after the government removed the incentive on 1 January, which Seaborn described as "a very regressive step".
