Tax refund I plan to buy a MacBook Pro in Berlin and I'm dual citizen of Serbia (non-EU) and Hungary (EU) and I was trying to get the answer can I get the VAT back and saw bunch of stupid answers and ways of thinking, even comparing examples from USA on some other post and decided to ask again. I saw a bunch of examples of people from non EU buying stuff in EU and getting VAT back over GlobalBlue and Customs (I also did that couple of times, but not with Apple) but I'm not sure does Apple cooperates with them? I also saw Apple store lists on their (GlobalBlue)site... Additional 15-20% off is not much but makes the difference if you can buy better MacBook Pro :D

Can I claim VAT back if I order a MacBook online and pick it up in a local Apple Store? I'm currently living in Switzerland and I'm interested in a MacBook with an English keyboard layout. It seems that local stores do not offer it with USA/UK layouts and, therefore, I must purchase it online. Is it possible to get a Global Blue VAT refund form when I purchase an Apple product online?
