Nice!. How much do you think it would cost to ship the Supra over :innocent:

About 500 quid to ship it. Plus some for someone to organise this. Then add 10% duty.... oh and 17.5% VAT....and don't forget to register it, MOT it, make it road legal changing dials fog lights blah blah..

That's an interesting one. So you reckon if I rig someone up to buy a car privately on my behalf in Japan I can avoid the 17.5% VAT?

 

I would have thought if you went over there, purchased it, in your name, and imported it privately you could bring it here without VAT. Its used goods after all.

No - there's something about you having to be living there or something for so long before hand I think to prevent this.

What, import duty? Or VAT? I dont think VAT is ever applied to stuff imported, thats what import duty is for.

 

Sadly it is mate, i have imported so much stuff from the USA etc.....and some of it gets past customs, some of it doesnt.........that which doesnt incurs the 17.5% VAT and 10% Duty.........PLUS.......a Royal Mail "handling fee" which is utter bollox. :swear: :complain:
