I didn’t pay any tax on board Valiant last year. I don’t think I purchased any alcohol whilst the ship was docked either which may explain it. I don’t believe alcohol whilst sailing is VATable, although will be liable if docked at the local percentage.

I paid VAT on every single alcohol purchase on Valiant regardless of being at Sea or in Port; Spain, Italy and France.

Same as me, just checked my bill and there was a 10% VAT charge in every drink on valiant last September
