Universal Weather & Aviation (Stand C235) has doubled the number of countries covered by its UVAir service to provide fuel invoicing that is compliant with requirements for value added tax (VAT) due on aircraft fuel in Europe. The service, which was introduced back in May, is supposed to overcome the headaches commonly associated with calculating which VAT rate should apply based on an aircraft operator's status in terms of whether it is a commercial operation and/or flies aircraft registered outside Europe.

The nine new countries now covered by the complimentary service are: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Sweden. It already applies for nine other European states: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.
