I see. In that case http://www.mydmc.co.uk/importing/index.html is wrong!! :?

What mars bar is that? :twisted:

What it is , Dan is following the advice given on that page
and it is incorrect
it says you pay VAT on shipping and costs, and only 10 % on the car cost,
but it is wrong info

yes you are right :wink: , maybe someone could email him and ask him to ammend this ?

I cant tell how long ago it was written, maybe it was correct when he wrote it,
I wouldnt know

I see, cheers for this info. At least I know the facts now

So If you paid the 10% you would be expected to pay another 17.5% as well, so you'd be be paying 2 lots of tax on the same thing!! How do they get away with that!!

DONT ASK ME :roll: I DIDNT VOTE THEM IN

the theory goes something like this,
you sent money out of the country and made our poor island poorer,
and the americans richer, so to compensate you pay more tax to redress the balance, I still dont see how it makes it even, the money you pay in tax came from a UK bank to pay the UK
seems fair

Your new blinged car is due in today right?

I wish :twisted:
no mate it was due to be picked up today in Monmouth Illinois, they picked it up early, Ive just checked and its arrived this morning in Baltimore, at the shipping port, so now its down to customs to clear it
Oooo the excitment,
If all goes well it should be here around about the 22,
Fingers crossed :oops:

Hi Allen,

I hope there was nothing valuable in the car, CD player, etc - as there seems to be a spate of thefts from cars during shipping lately.

Fingers crossed for you...

Darren

Hi Darren
Well yeah there is, but he has tried to hide most of it in the ....... :oops:
best not say, but he removed the "attractive " bits and hid them,it is being shipped in a container so that should stop bits "dropping off" on ship
you going to the NEC tomoz

yeah,

I think part of it is that theoretically (although it isn't the case) you could have bought the car from the UK, but didn't it could be the case that UK business was missing out on your custom because you went abroad to buy the car....

or something like that. I suppose we shouldn't feel too glum by the fact we have one of the lowest rates of VAT in europe (doubt it'll change any time soon.) ....even though we pay 10% duty on it :? weird.

l8rs.

Just an update, It is now due to leave NY on the 5th of December,
So just might be ready by xmas
Woohoo..there is a god

I bet it'll feel like Xmas morning when you get the car.....er literally

I think it takes just under 3 weeks for cars to arrive over here.... most probably the best Christmas pressie you could ever wish for. :wink:

Stu

Yeah Stu, I'll be able to hang ornamets on it :lol:

More 'bling'.............I like it :wink:
