I read in a car magazine on the front cover: "Wake us up for the duty-free." What on earth does that mean?

Usually, you have to pay taxes on things that you move from one country to another. If you buy something at the "duty-free" shop, you don't have to pay taxes on it.

You do not pay Taxes on what you buy because you are in a tax free zone!
If you are in Germany, you MUST pay 16% on ALL goods and services. At the airport, after you have gone thru customs, you enter into an area for travelers only! You are ready to get on to the air-plane. Shops in those area, sell items without TAXES. (Duty-Free)! You can not leave the area and go outside of the air port. You board the air craft taking your purchases with you.

duty free means you dont have to pay taxes, such as in airports like in mexico there are duty free stores where you can buy almost anything for cheap and without tax.

it means no taxes (duty = tax) Cruise ships often have "duty-free" shops which are open once you're at sea outside of any country's territorial waters. Sometimes they have such shops in airports as well.

You don't pay tax on it. Usually airports or country borders have duty free stores.
