Espy thanks this is what I was looking for. Yokota base legal didn't know so they just guessed and said no but if I can get legal there to get guidance from other locations that fall under same rules I think they'll change their minds. Great post.
Thanks rouge! I've been doing a ton of research on this and it appears the 1 percent is based on Japan's liquor tax law and the same tax law covers consumption gas tobacco and other Japanese taxable items. That being said many if not all of these items are exempt when it comes to military...
All just moved to Yokota and there are a lot of questions around here on whether you can home brew or not on base. Anybody have any concrete guidance with some policies or something from anybody that says you can. Thanks
