WHAT IS AN EXCHANGE? -An Exchange is a militar/y retailing activity that is an
unique combination of various type of retail stores—cafeteria and snack bar,
automotive service station and various other personal-service shops such as
barber, beauty, shoe repair, laundry‘‘and dry cleaners.
IS IT GOVERNMENT OPERATED? Legally, the exchange is an instrumentality of the
federal government, but it receives no ..direct tax appropriations. The exchange
operates with self-generated funds and pays the cost of doing business out of
income. The Commander of the military installation is responsible for the Ex
change activity on that installation, but his Exchange personnel are civilians,
paid with Exchange funds. _ .
Since Adak is considered an overseas base, it has a military allowance in add
ition to the civilian personnel* ’ . ' .
The exchange occupies buildings surplus to more immediate military needs. In
this rospect the Exchange differs from the Commissary, which is a Government
operated, retail-grocery activity supported by Government funds.
DOES THE EXCHANGE PAY TAXESs Authorized customers pay all federal taxes on
merchandise.. Ihe exchange pays federal taxes on amusements, amusement devices,
vending machines and petroleum products. The exchange pays all transportation
tarriffs on merchandise shipped within the U.S., and pays duty on all imported
merchandise. __
