We do, however, require that VAT is paid with your order and if applicable, we shall then refund this. BFPO outside EU If your BFPO address is outside the EU, your VAT is eligble for refund and this refund will be processed upon our checking the details of your BFPO address against the British Forces list at http://www.bfpo.mod.uk/bfponumbers_static.htm

BFPO inside the EU Certain BFPO locations within the EU are eligible for VAT free sales. Before we can issue a VAT refund for an order dispatched to a BFPO address which is within the EU, UK VAT legislation requires us to obtain a "certificate of entitlement" confirming that the items have been shipped to and received by a qualifying body or person as set out in paragraph 14.2 of HM Revenue and Customs Notice 725 dated December 2009. We can accept a copy of the order receipt which was dispatched with the item(s), signed and stamped by the head or acting head of the embassy, high commission, consulate, visiting force contingent or international organisation, with evidence of the official status of the signatory. For goods which are shipped to BFPO customers in Cyprus or Germany, we require a certificate from the person placing the order uniquely identifying the supply for which relief is claimed, and claiming entitlement as follows: - for British forces in Cyprus - under Article 14(1)(g) of EC Council Directive 77/388/EEC, or - for a visiting force in Germany - under Article 15(10) of EC Council Directive 77/388/EEC. We require this certificate in accordance with Section 14 of HM Revenue and Customs Notice 725 dated December 2009. If this certificate is not supplied, we cannot make a refund. Please send the stamped receipt or certificate, quoting all the qualifying order numbers for which VAT has not been refunded to: Sewing Machines Direct, SMD Court, Llay Industrial Estate, Miners Road, Llay, Wrexham LL12 0PJ.
