know before you goCapri, italy
Sunday, June 12th through Saturday, June 18th, 2011
Congratulations on becoming a President’s Award winner! This brochure will give you an overview of Capri and provide details on the activities planned for the week.
Capri, known for the bustle of the streets and the Piazzetta, the bars, cafes, the fashionable boutiques, and the parade of the world’s beautiful people is equally as well known as the “paradise of idleness,” and has been enchanting visitors for centuries.
On the trip you’ll have an opportunity to visit and experience Positano, the coast’s most photogenic town; Naples, with its pulsating life; and Pompeii, a city perfectly preserved as it was on that fateful day 2,000 years ago, when ash and lava literally stopped it in its tracks. Or if you prefer, you can spend your time at leisure at the world-famous Capri Palace Hotel and Spa.
The MillerCoors senior leadership team looks forward to hosting you and your guest at this exclusive one of a kind trip to the Isle of Capri, Italy.

vAt refunDS
According to the italian law, based on the european Community
provisions, as a non-resident visitor, you can claim a refund for goods
and services tax paid for goods intended for personal or familiar use
purchased in italy.
in europe, most prices include a value-added tax or vAt that can be as
high as 25 percent. This is like a sales tax, except that it’s built into the
price you pay instead of being added at the cash register.
24
if you’re a tourist from another country, you may be able to claim a
vAt refund. You can do this in several ways:
• Usethestore’srefundaffiliate,whichcanbeidentifiedbya
decal such as “tax free Shopping” or “Premier tax free” in
the store window.
• Getarefunddirectlyfromtheshopwhereyoumakeyour
purchase.
• Chargeyourpurchasewithacreditcardandasktheshopto
make two charge slips: one for the amount of the sale after
deduction of the vAt, and the other for the amount of the vAt.
vAt rates vary from country to country and, in some cases, according
to the nature of the merchandise. (luxury items may be taxed at a
higher rate than food or books, for example.) Also, you’re required to
spend a minimum amount in a store to apply for a refund, and this
minimum is different for each country.
