VAT refunds for orders sent to BFPO and FCO addresses:
We can refund VAT on items sold by bloceyewear.co.uk and sent to BFPO and FCO addresses, as long as the address is located outside of the United Kingdom.
BFPO Addresses based outside of the EU:
In order to request a VAT refund for a BFPO address outside of the EU, please e-mail us once your order has been dispatched. Remember to include the order number with your request.
BFPO Addresses based within the EU:
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 member of the BFPO. Bloc Systems Ltd will accept a copy of the order receipt which was dispatched with the item(s), signed and stamped by the procurement officer or purchasing officer, along with proof of the identity of the person who signed and stamped to authorize the purchase. A BFPO headed cover sheet referring to the order(s) should accompany this.
This is in accordance with paragraph 14.4 of HM Revenue and Customs Notice 725 dated September 2008. If this certificate is not supplied, Bloc Systems Ltd cannot make a refund.
Please send the stamped receipt, quoting all the qualifying order numbers for which VAT has not been refunded to:
Bloc Systems Ltd
The Base,
Daux Road,
Billingshurst,
West Sussex,
United Kingdom,
RH14 9SJ
Alternatively, you may fax the necessary paperwork to us on 01403 787879 from within the UK, or 0044 1403 787879 from outside the UK.
FCO addressed refunds:
Before we issue a VAT refund for an order dispatched to an FCO address, UK VAT Legislation requires us to obtain a certificate of receipt from the FCO confirming that the items have been shipped to and received by a member of the FCO. Bloc Systems Ltd will accept a copy of the order receipt which was dispatched with the item(s), with an authorisation stamp and signature of someone within the embassy confirming that the order has been received. An FCO headed cover sheet referring to the order(s) should accompany this.
We require this from the FCO within three months of the time of the supply of goods. This is in accordance with paragraph 7.11 of HM Revenue and Customs Notice 703 dated August 2006. If this is not supplied within 3 months, Bloc Systems Ltd cannot make a refund.
