scottishtink Posted July 7, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I apologise if this has been asked , I am considering buying the UBP when I sail on the Epic 1/9/2013 from Barcelona having bought it previously when I sailed from Venice on the Jade . I have read somewhere today that a 10% tax is added in Spain on top of the 15% gratuity , can anyone confirm if this is the case ?? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Several people have confirmed that on Epic's Med cruises the Spanish tax is added to all purchases all the time. You probably can get around it by pre-purchasing the UBP, usually there are no sales taxes added to any prepaid things like restaurant cover charges, bon voyage gifts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KeithJenner Posted July 7, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yes, 10% VAT is charged on all bar purchases on the Epic out of Barcelona. I'm not sure about pre purchases though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
