Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Seek VAT exemption on BFPO deliveries to the Republic of Cyprus

The Government should negotiated with the Republic of Cyprus to secure VAT relief/exemption in the ROC for military personnel and their families using the BFPO service.

More details

Pay for many does not stretch far enough for basics bought locally. These regulations have cut off access to reasonably priced basic goods and care parcels/presents sent by loved ones. The tax applied to these parcels can be overcharged and is difficult to challenge. The US military stationed in Cyprus are exempt due to their government making it so. These regulations have a significant negative impact on the BFC community.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
