Aims and Objectives

The overall aim of the UKTRF is to secure the most favourable operating environment for companies trading in the international travel retail market. Within that overall aim, it has four principal objectives:

• To promote and develop the market for international (non-EU) duty and tax-free sales.
• To secure improved arrangements for the supply and sale of duty and tax paid goods to travellers within the European Union.
• To guard against increased compliance costs arising from new legislation.
• To keep Members fully informed of legislative and regulatory developments.
