Ive been looking for a new car (well secondhand) and i think ive found one at the right price, but after making some enquires the car is located in County Tyrone, Ireland
What problems have i got getting the car in to the UK? Will I have to pay Tax or Duty on it ?
Will I be able to put my Personal Plate on to it ?

Thanks in advance

moses

unfortunately u will need to mate coz its fae the south

i got mines from the north still a part of the uk all i did was put my private reg on it and registered it here, they have a different way of registering in northern ireland

what u can do is get maybe a receipt showing a lower price

so u save on tax's or if u have a business u can claim the vat back if u r registered but u cant dodge the duty

Oh right, Thanks for that.
Well as the car is quite a price, I think I will pass on that one then

There is no tax nor duty to pay on a car imported from, and in free-circulation within the EU. You will need to MOT the car if that appropriate, insure it and then take the certificates along with the vehicles documentation to your local VRO. You will have to pay a minimal first registration charge along with six months (minimum) road tax, then youre away.

You will be able to transfer a cherished registration number onto the car after its been registered normally. Unfortunately Moses, you can not reclaim the VAT charged on used cars irrespective of your business status. Its a good job that you know more about religion and politics than you do about HM Customs & Excise, isnt it?

Co Tyrone is in Northern Ireland,that's where I'm from and it's still part of Britain!

moses

since when


and sorry i only noticed the first part and not the second part in his phrase, he said new car and in brackets used car, didnt notice the second part

moses

is it, lol so why was he asking a question about buying a car from another part of great britain

i bought my car from county antrim, very nice countryside.

BEW

Maybe because he didn't know and wanted to find out!

Unlike you who started spouting random bollox *thinking* you knew!

LOL... thank you guys


Cheers Moses, I know you were helping.

So if you live BEW. Do you know a car company called "Moyway Motors"
They are the people selling the car.

moses

i was going by business experience, unless u have a vat number in europe u need to pay vat, i have done in the past and so have my mates when ordering stuff

and also i buy alot from japan and the usa i pay vat all the time and duty i was going by that


u have to remember im human i do make mistakes ,like i said i have paid vat in the past before i had a vat number , bought some stuff from germany and also sent some stuff from here to my mates in sweden sard items and they get hit with tax's and their own stuff

Looks like I know more about importing cars into the UK than I do about geography and the counties of Ulster.....

Moses, since the first of January 1993.

Seems so :-)

There are 9 counties in Ulster but only 6 of them are in Northern Ireland. Wouldn't buy a car from any of them mind you.

Hint and tip : If you turn up and it looks like a gypo encampment be especially careful.
