Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi there, Is it possible to buy a 911 from Europe ( lets say Germany or Belgium ) from a dealer, get the VAT off there and then upon import pay the UK VAT ? is that how it works ? Or theres no fooling around with the VAT ? what type of costs are involved with importing a 911 from Europe ? Rule of thumb ? I want a LHD 911 and the market is scarce in UK ( no brainer.. ) but I'm considering importing one from Europe and register it in the UK. What is needed ? How much is involved ?

POST 2Original post

Hi, As a private import, I don't think you can use any VAT registeration you might have. You need to pay the VAT locally. You would then not pay VAT when you import it to the UK - thats my understanding at least Pete
