I don't think it can be phrased that way. As for the VAT in the EU, everybody who proves that the goods were exported is eligible for a tax refund. However, since this requires to provide evidence and send complicated forms to the revenue office of the country of the purchase, this process is taken over by a company that has booths in major airports. Thus participating shops prepare a special receipt, and the airport office refunds the tax while retaining a fee for themselves, and finally claims it from revenue. IIRC a similar scheme exists for US sales taxes. tom _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
