FASHION
This is a system where you receive a refund of the VAT tax (sales tax) on products over a certain amount.
While luxury brands aim to have consistent prices across the globe, it's not uncommon to see that often, prices will be slightly cheaper in the region where the brands originate from.
For example, if we look at Gucci's best-selling small Marmont shoulder bag, it currently retails for €2,000 ($2,050) in Italy, £1,800 ($2,205) in the UK, and $2,550 (+tax) in the US.
