Nic Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Are there any websites that explain the SVA test and import tax required to import a car into the UK? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Tell us what year and model your thinking of importing and I'll try to help (PM me if you like) Basically you pay 17.5% VAT and 10% duty on a motor vehicle imported into the UK, this is based on the declared value. The do spot checks to check if the declared value matches up with the book price. Regards, Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in a year's time when they've got the model report. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter what modifications have been done? Is there anywhere on the web that explains it all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have a look on the DVLA (http://www.dvla.gov.uk) Model Reports (http://www.modelreports.com) and SVA site (http://www.dft.gov.uk/stellent/groups/dft_roads/documents/page/dft_roads_506874.hcsp) Theres no VVTi model report currently (for the engine and gearboxes). The car itself is no problem. With an ESVA you'll have to take quite a few mods off too... Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
