Eligible personnel who make purchases in an EU country must pay the VAT at time of purchase and then provide the JAS Customs and Shipping (C&S) Section with a full, detailed invoice. JAS/C&S will complete, stamp and sign the VAT exemption form, and return it to the employee to take back to the store. There are restrictions and different procedures for consumables, in particular: gasoline or diesel fuel, wine, cigarettes, alcohol and beer, and soft drinks. These items cannot be purchased tax-free in another European Union country without having specific paperwork completed prior to departure. Upon arrival at post, contact JAS/GSO/C&S for specific information on tax-exempt purchases in Belgium and other EU countries. [Read More]
