What's VAT situation on importing from UK?

Filed under: importing

The question

I am considering buying a VAT qualifying car with a VAT number in the UK that is more than six months old and more than 6,000km on the clock. What are the immediate or later VAT implications for me?

Hi Michael,

None. If you’re importing a car from the UK that is older than six months old, the VAT is considered as paid and you only need to deal with the VRT charge.
