When I was on my 2nd tour of Germany a local bar and a GI got caught on the tax thing. He was a supply Sgt and was running a tab at the German bar. He paid part of his tab by giving the bar owner some floor tile that the Army was going to throw away.

Failure to do that could result in the "native" being in trouble with the German government and could result in black marketing charges against the service member. That included "gifts" to a church past throwing money in the collection plate.
