Commonly, we found though that instead of getting 19% VAT back, we were getting anywhere from 9-12% back as VAT- each shop we shopped at had a calculation, and would only give a percentage back. Apparently, this is common, and legal.
It is because they give you back the difference between the swiss VAT (ca. 7%) and the german VAT (19%)
