Thanks for your help, do u know what the VAT is based on...eg value of vehicle? thanks

wrrjones

with the car being a EU car like i said you will not need sva .. but you will need the original recept for the price you paid for the car and vat will be based on that ..i.e

if you paid £8500 for that car the vat (17.5%) would be £1487.5

just as example... better off ringing the DVLA and they will tell you all you need to no ...tel
0870 240 0010

i think this is the right no but you will get loads of choices lol.

you need information about importing a car from the EU
they are very good but its a matter of having patence lol with the phone..

or they will send you out and info pack....chris
