basor Posted January 26 #6 Share Posted January 26 4 minutes ago, jlad said: Miami, Mexico, Belize? nope - there are few places around the World that require cruise ships to add a VAT tax to any purchases that occur in their waters - Spain, Brazil come to mind.. we have had cruise staff remind us and suggest we wait a day or two to purchase something once we have left those areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysteps Posted January 27 #7 Share Posted January 27 Remind me, for Brazil once you leave their waters the extra VAT goes away? And for Spain is there some special rule? Something like if you embark in Spain then extra VAT applies until ship is at non-EU port or is that bad or old info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraM Posted January 27 #8 Share Posted January 27 We were charged an extra tax for a bottle of wine while still docked in Miami. The ship didn’t leave until 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
