Guys, this is a European Law, nothing dodgy or illegal about it.
If you leave in UK, you can buy any goods from any European country and don't pay the VAT rate for that country. You don't pay the VAT in UK because you are not buying goods in UK.
All you have to do is ask the seller to not include VAT/TAX.
If you leave in France, you can buy any goods from any European country without paying their TAX, netto price.
This is real stuff, when we visited Poland last year, we went to H&M on the High Street and by the checkouts there were information boards telling you that if you are a tourist or you don't live in Poland you can buy any clothes from H&M minus Poland's VAT rate.
I'm not 100% sure if this applies to all the purchases but no one never declined my request and I've done quiet few purchases already
