No, in Europe you have to pay always VAT.
What you can do is if you buy a device for your company or your business you can deduct it with your country fiscal services.

To not pay VAT in the UK (or any country in the EU) you will have to be from an out of the UE country, that’s why you have the “free shop” status and explanations in airports or souvenir shops in towns.

Anyway, the prices you are giving for the 505 in the UK have VAT (UK VAT) already.
