Lukeyboy2k Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 No idea about the price for other countries in Europe, but when I had my car imported the cost breakdown was as follows: Price of car ~ £4100 Transport from Japan to UK ~ £1000 Converting for MOT etc ~ £500 Agents fees ~ £500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolai Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Thank you, Im thinking of putting it on english plates first. But no taxes? I heard something about 17.5% or something? Cheers, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra Lee Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I could be wrong, but there is 5% import tax and I think you have to pay VAT which is 17.5% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Nick I could be wrong, but there is 5% import tax and I think you have to pay VAT which is 17.5% Yeah, you're probably right. I pretty sure I paid tax. Maybe I didn't pay a great amount because the original purchase price was very low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 You also have to get her through a MOT type test to make shure it complies wit UK laws as well as gerestering it. This test, cant remember what its called but A10 seems to ring a bell, is part of it obtaining a log book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratm Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 This is the breakdown of the cost my new TT 6 speed from japan to UK. VAT shown on here will be more than it would be if the car you bought was say 5000 because its a percentage, but it gives you an idea. This is what Jurgen sent me when I asked him. £8200 car £500 jap fees (de regm,transportation,inspection) £500 shipping freight £500 jm-imports fee £160 dvla registration £45 pick up from docks (includes fuel etc) £20 plates £40 fog kit £80 speedo chip £45 oil change plus filter £45 mot £1300 - £1400 will be vat,customs,duty charges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictorch Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Got mine back to the UK and on the road for £5000 in April this year.....Grade 4 1993 GZ TT Auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 4% import TAX (I think) 17.5% VAT + shipping and then massive MOT test thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruggs Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 import tax is 10% then you pay VAT at 17.5% and yes its on the original price plus the 10%. So you pay tax on your tax!! Bloody sneaky barstewards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Yep import tax is actually 10% and the taxes are cumulative. A rough rule of thumb is car price in Japan + 50% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolai Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Thanks guys I've been here for a while and now is the time Bought A '96 GZ model Twinturbo(doh). In Holland we have MOT + vat = about 3000 euro and then to a test center 1000 eur and then the rest, wich is about 5000 total. So I wanted to know if it can be done more cheap. I'll make the calculation, Many thanks, Cheers, Nicolai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
