As part of the NATO agreement all allied nations grant each others’ troops and their according dependants tax relief.

As the United States and Germany wanted to strengthen their relationship and promote culture exchange for the local popluation they agreed on a VAT Free Form-based Tax Relief Procedure to support their troops to make their deployment more affordable.

This is especially relevent as the German tax system differs from the American system. In Germany the Value-added tax (7% or 19%) is a already included in label prices.

You are very likely eligible to use VAT Free Forms to avoid paying the 19% (or 7%) when you are deployed longer than 3 months in Germany with United States Forces or one of their civilian dependents.

If you are unsure whether or not your are eligible, please contact your VAT Office.

You can order NF1 forms at any Tax Relief Office in Germany.

You can also order your VAT forms prior to your visit at the tax office using the registration and application form for tax-relief services.
