“Question, ”

Written on: 15/02/2011

Question,

how come Thomson can sell duty free drinks in bottles yet the normal bar service at the same time on the same plane has VAT charged and shown on the receipt.

Who is receiving the VAT? This doesn't make senseand seems like a scam.

I work for another airline. Basically, duty free cannot be consumed onboard, not just for safety reasons, but also tax/duty. Meanwhile, the airline is charged duty on the bar contents and the bars contents are indeed scrutinised by the "the bond" who are answerable to customs and excise. Plus, remember you were on a UK registered aircraft and many of the laws and regs of being anywhere in the UK also apply onboard.

Vat is not for duty free.
Vat is value added tax and it goes to company who have to pay a vat in country where is registered business address.
