Thank you, Im thinking of putting it on english plates first. But no taxes? I heard something about 17.5% or something?

 

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.

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

Thanks guys :)

 

I've been here for a while and now is the time :D

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
