Claiming VAT back on engagement ring

    I am an Australian citizen and reside there. I will be travelling to Ireland soon and am hoping to buy my engagement ring while there. The item will be paid for in store on the day of purchase. The ring could take a number of weeks to make so it may not be ready before I go back to Australia and therefore will have to be shipped. My question being, if the ring needs to be shipped back because it’s not ready in time, am I still entitled to claim the VAT back if it is not physically with me in the airport?

    Thanks in advance for any advice

    If the gift is being shipped outside the EU the store will not (or at least should not) apply Irish VAT. You might be hit with taxes at the other end of course

    You need to negotiate the arrangements with the jeweler.
