Marc, general VAT is different according the European country, f.e. it's 17.5% for UK, 16% for Germany, 25% for Norway, 16% for Spain, etcetera. I wrote the FX prices with VAT and without VAT for Robert White United Kingdom, I forgot the price without VAT for the FX in Fotopartner Germany, it is 2899 Euros - 16%= 2435.16?=3,126.06 USD; B&H and Adorama are in USA and then there are no VAT issues. Anyway VAT refund schemes can vary according the European country and it could be different if you are a tourist visiting Europe or if you buy something via e-commerce from your cour country. I purchased some goods in Spain via e-commerce and the VAT was not included in the invoice.
