APPLICABLE TAXES AND FEES AND ALL OTHER COSTS ARISING FROM

CONTRACTOR'S PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACT, WHERE NO U.S.

GOVERNMENT OR DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE EXEMPTION APPLIES.

There are two taxes in question, and it's unclear how to apply or not for this solicitation:

1. mineral tax. ( Mineralöl-Steuer) – do we add this to the bid price, or is the U.S.

government exempt? The German government charges this tax to the supplier, and they have to wait on the German government for reimbursement, which could mean tying up 10 of thousands of euros pending a refund. Or do they change the government as part of

Response: The U.S. Government is exempt. Offers should exclude all taxes where the U.S. Government is exempt. The supplier must pay the tax and wait to get reimbursed from the German Government.

2. The second tax is duty-free sales. Would they need a Vat-Form to charge without the Mehrwertsteuer (duty-free tax)?

Response: The U.S. Government is exempt. The suppliers must provide DFAS Europe with an abwicklungsschein and then DFAs will stamp it DFAS Europe once their invoice is paid. With that document the supplier goes to customs for the refund.

3. What has been the past procedure for both? With the long history of a presence in Germany, what is the historical practice?
