Buy an Ultra at Zurich as a French

[Bacasable]

Hello guys
I don’t have a lot of hope to see an answer but I try anyway

If I buy my watch and ask a detax in Switzerland, do you know if it possible to buy it without any taxes if a show my French’s passeport ?

Thanks

Unlikely, you can do a „detax“ when exporting it from Switzerland. You will then have to pay the tax of the country you enter (e.g. France).

PS: I live in Switzerland, and never saw or heard of that in a shop.

That’s what I want to do, pay the thing without taxes make me a lot of economy. Then don’t declare it at the boarder, off course.
I heard that a lot at paris when chineses bouyght luxury fragrants and purses

In the store you have to pay the value tax. At the Swiss Border, when leaving you can get it back, as far as I know. But I never heard of a case where you can buy at the store without paying the tax.

You will only save about CHF60 as the watch is CHF849 incl. VAT and the VAT is only 7.7%.
