Can i buy a tax free Rolex from Switzerland being a USA resident ? 😂Currently (since Jan 21):
"You can only buy tax-free goods from shops in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) if they’re delivered straight to an address outside the UK"
Tax on shopping and services
VAT and other taxes on shopping and services, including tax-free shopping, energy-saving equipment and mobility aids.www.gov.uk
If you can wait until 2024, VAT-free shopping will be reintroduced
Well, putting aside your irony, the answer is yes. You will however be needed to travel outside of the country to get it and DECLARE this in the US airport you are arriving and pay TAX.
Sure! As a non-Swiss resident. VAT here is 7.7% but unless the retailer does the admin directly with you, companies like Global Blue take around half of the refund as fees. Theoretically, you'll need to pay import tax/duties when entering the US. Theoretically.
thanks man. that's a bummer, couple of years ago i did purchase some stuff like this but i assume it's not the case anymore ... brexit stuff i assumeCurrently (since Jan 21):

It hasn't changed yet. It will change from 2024.
