Duty free on way back

You don't get 'duty free' in the US.
There's a duty free shop inbound in T5 just before you get landside. You could make purchases there, but you'd have to check them in for your domestic sector.

Technically no (I believe) however the "duty free shops" do offer the majority of their goods at duty free prices for domestic/ within the EU flights but legally you are still paying the taxes its just the retailer is taking the majority of the hit.

When we going to buy a few expensive pieces of jewellery I booked a reward flight to Paris for thirty quid and bought it all with 20% off plus additional WorldPoints points which when transferred to Avios more than covered the points spent on the flight :j
