Claiming VAT tax on Pre Owned watch

Hi All,

I’m in Italy and may buy a preowned Rolex. I am not sure about the rules on claiming VAT tax on Preowned watches? I thought I read somewhere that VAT on preowned watches can’t be claimed? Is that true?

Thanks for your help!

I don't think you can do it in Europe; I asked in London a few years ago when I was there last and was told I couldn't and I'd imagine sales tax rulings would be similar around Europe

That being said IN Australia you can claim sales tax on second hand goods

I can wear the watch but I also will have the box and papers in my luggage when I go through customs. I got flagged for a book in my bag while going thru TSA pre check on the way to Italy, so I don’t need the hassle of penalties and fines for trying to dodge taxes. I am just trying to figure out if I need to pay taxes on second hand watches.
