The 12-month scheme has been set up by the Treasury department to try to stimulate the retail and travel industries and applies only to those leaving the Island on a flight provided by a commercial airline.
It will only cover participating retailers, who will need to register with the Taxes Office and contact G4S who will be handling the paperwork. It is hoped that it will lead to a permanent arrangement.
Visitors who want to take part in the scheme will have to show registered retailers their passports, details of arrival and departure flights and their names and addresses when they make their purchases.
