Hi All!
Quick one, I'm sure I spotted a thread on the forum somewhere but I'm damned if I can find it.. (again)!
If importing from the US, IIRC on the import form there's some sort of box to tick that a DeLorean is a 're-import', and if you do this correctly then the only import 'tax' one gets at the UK end is a VAT charge at 5% (plus some port fees, &c).
Is that right? I only ask 'cos I saw something elsewhere which suggested you'd pay a 5% 'import tax' and then VAT in addition. Obviously this would make quite a difference..!
Grateful if someone could chip in with knowledge or experience.
I'm trying to make the 'man maths' add up (in theory at least, so I can get saving!) and it would be good to have all the right factors added in!!
If I'm going to try and use Excel I may's well get it right...
Cheers!
Ivan.
