Re: Things to avoid doing when claiming back German MWSt

I think you'll find that it is Chf 300.-- per person but if it is a single article costing more than Chf 300, either the article is in 2 individual parts with 2 separate invoices but you can't split the cost over 2 or more people on an individual item.


So in your particular case you would be due to pay VAT on entering Switzerland and on entering Italy, legally speaking.
One item (muffler) was less than CHF 300, and the others (11 sets of brake pads) made the total less than CHF 600.

Perfectly legal.

Tax avoidance is legal. I did the paperwork, and both the Italians and Swiss were happy.

And the Italians do check that what is on the papers is what is in the box, they even verified the number of sets of pads!
