The Provision of a Fuel Card for the Purchase of Tax and Duty Free Fuel by Entitled Private Motorists of the British Forces Community in Germany

This is a concession-type requirement. Entitled personnel of the British Armed Forces in Germany are eligible to purchase fuel in Germany free of tax and duty under the conditions set out in the Supplementary Agreement to the NATO Status of Forces Agreement of 1951, and associated administrative agreements between the UK and Germany. The requirement is for the provision of a fuel card system under which entitled personnel are able to purchase fuel free of all German tax and duty at all of a provider’s service stations within its network and any affiliated partners’ networks. National coverage is required throughout Germany, and in particular in the areas where the British Forces live and work; predominantly concentrated in North Rhine Westphalia, Bavaria and Ramstein (Rhineland-Palatinate), as well as major road routes throughout Germany.
