Please note: The final price will be shown on your invoice. 

Our clients (e.g. Aviation Authorities or Aerodromes) generally can obtain a refund of the VAT, e.g. if located within the European Community with a valid EU Tax ID Number or through a bilateral agreement between the involved countries. However it is not always the case and VAT may be applied and not refundable.

Therefore, airsight advises potential participants to liaise with their financial department for this subject matter, in order to assess how the VAT may be applied to the course fees and if the VAT is refundable.
