VAT refund for goods exported to Australia

I am a tourist considering a large purchase which will be immediatley exported to my home in Australia. The retailer has said they will not provide a zero tax rating and will charge VAT but are willing to provide a "VAT receipt". Is there any way that i can claim the VAT back from the Government in this scenario?

Guidance here, not every retailer offers a refund scheme and not all goods are eligible. https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-shopping/taxfree-shopping

The retail export scheme ended in the UK on 31 December 2020. The only way of getting zero rate VAT is if the seller can send the goods directly overseas. It is the retailer s choice whether they offer this service.

Hi. The UK used to operate the Retail Export Scheme but this procedure stopped after the UK left the EU. As an overseas person the only way you could benefit from an export of goods is if the export is completed as a direct export by the supplier of the goods. Please see the guidance below: VAT on goods exported from the UK (VAT Notice 703)    . Thank you .
