steveg22 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi,I have just been to my local Citroen dealer to work a deal out on a new Berlingo Multispace and he has told me that he we will take my 2 Renaults in p/x and supply the Berlingo fully configured for left hand-drive, speedo in Kms etc. This will solve the problem of getting rid of our 2 UK spec cars when we move over. Am I correct in assuming that, unless I have it delivered to the docks at P/mouth (!!!) it will have to be registered in England and therefore it will be treated as a personal import when I take it to France and I will just have the normal re-registering procedures to follow. Is there anything else that I need to be aware off.Thanks for your help as always.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Think about the VAT.As far as I am aware, if you import a car that you have owned for less than 6 mths you will be charged VAT. If you get VAT free in UK you save 17.5% and pay French VAT at ??.I suspect that if you pay UK VAT and its less than 6 mths ownership you will still be charged French VAT and will have to claim UK VAT back.No doubt there will be others with more info though.
