[Tagging] Tag for "tax free shopping"

[Hauke Stieler]

Hi Javbw,

so you suggest only a "duty_free=" key with the values "yes|no|designated"?

I like your idea of having only one key "duty_free" but I would choose
different values. The tags "duty_free=yes" vs. "=designated" might be
confusing.

My idea:

duty_free=yes
	E.g. Shop in international zones (like airports).

duty_free=refund
	Normal shops offering tax refund for foreign customers.

duty_free=no
	No tax-refund or tax-free shopping. Default value I guess?

I'll write a proposal for this if there's no strong disagreement here.

Greetings,
Hauke
