Not sure. It would be logical to get the full 21% back and pay taxes when you enter your home country. It's not like US sales tax. Most webshops have a 21% discount here for buyers outside of the EU

My new PDV GM in Taiga ardoise!
I saw it on the eu website as it was not currently listed here on the Australian LV website. I quoted the product number and the SA said there was only one left in Australia, which I bought.
Its such a slick and understated work bag, I love it!

You don't get back the full amount of VAT. A part of it is kept by the company that processes the VAT refunds.

Very nice! That is one handsome bag.
Do you see yourself using it with the shoulder strap or primarily carrying it by the handles?
(I recently bought a standard PDV that doesn't have a shoulder strap and I've been wondering if that was a mistake in terms of "usability")
ya that's why I'm wondering how much of the 21% do tourist actually get back? Do u know?
Congrats! It's a very classy bag. It's almost similar to the Montblanc bag I bought some weeks agoMy new PDV GM in Taiga ardoise!

Thanks!!
I exclusively carry it by the handles because 1) I don't like shoulder straps ruining my jackets from the friction; 2) its moderately heavy after I load it up with my portfolio, water bottle, umbrella, laptop, stethoscope and would become uncomfortable using the strap walking more than a couple blocks; 3) it looks more professional to carry it by the handle (IMHO)

Thanks for replying. You made my day! I agree with all of your points...and I feel much better about my PDV now.
I start a new job next month and plan to carry it (by the handles!) from day-1.
I did see a warning that the leather might tear where the D rings are if the weight is too heavy. It looked to me as if the band of stitching underneath the D ring might compromise the integrity of the leather.
I have a PDJ and attach the shoulder strap diagonally to the handle rings and that feels a better balance.

@melikesLV Congrats! Small correction though, this is not a PDV GM its a PDB GM. I have the same version in PM Ardoise as well. I love the bag and love the leather even more now after using it for 6 months. It becomes softer. Just like you, I bought it as well for a new job that I started as well. Pretty understated yet luxurious. Believe it or not, mine fits a 13'' laptop and a small umbrella for the rainy days in London!
@Dee1jay I as well use the handles more Vs. the straps. Feels better in hands and more professional.
Picture of mine with a little mono that I wanted to add to it.
