Claiming VAT back in Algericas
 

Does anyone know where to claim the VAT back in Algericas, Spain? Last time we were in Cueta (2000), we weren't able to claim any VAT back, even though Cueta is a Spanish enclave.

Best Regards,
Dennis

Hi Dennis
I'm not sure what you're claiming VAT back on and whether or not you're going to return to the UK, but I can tell you what I did when exporting my Land Rover from Europe. Once on African soil (crossed from Algeciras to Ceuta) I completed the 'export' section of the car reg papers and sent that, along with copies of ferry tickets as proof of exit, back to the guys who sold me the vehicle. They processed the VAT claim and deposited it in my account.
Hope this helps

hi !!!

Well , Ceuta and Melilla got a tax-exempt status , -same as Canary Islands- (same I think as your Gibraltar or your Falkland Islands ) , so Its got a funny tax system . -if you look the prices , there is not tax nor Vat on Fuel , and most prices are Vat-Free.

***************VAT RETURN OFFICES IN SOUTH SPAIN->AFRICA

Algeciras: BBVA Bank in Virgen del Carmen street , 17, just front of the Harbour

Algeciras Harbour TErminal : at GADITOUR desk , at the Passenger terminal , in Arrivals
