My sister is going to NYC and I made her get me rmbp there. Sadly for my wallet the price shown on apple.com excl. tax. Can this tax be claimed somehow or would apple store in NY give some kind of rebate etc.?

Why would you expect special tax treatment from a retail outlet just because you don't live there?

I see. OkProbably because in Europe you can get a special receipt in most stores that enable you to claim the Tax at the airport on the way out if travelling to a non EU country. The system is well organised and I guess he is enquiring if the same system exist in the US and frankly the answer is no.
Also if you buy anything over £390 you are supposed to advise Customs and Revenues and pay tax on that in the UK.
I dont expect anything Im just asking a question.
Residence really has no impact. You buy a product from NYC, you pay the tax. Likewise when I go on vacation in Florida, I have to pay the sales tax on items I purchase there, even though I do not live there.
The problem with this is those products are usually marked up by 50% or more so in the long run it's cheaper just to eat the tax. (The rent for vendors is very high in these prime locations).Like I said, the only thing I can think of is to buy the machine at the Duty Free stores in the airport terminal on the way home.
