Importing British Cars to Spain
"Dieselman" wrote in message m... Does anybody know the rules for importing a British registered car to Spain? Someone has posted a link to the rules in the past but I can't find it now. Both are in the EEC so they are. Unfortunately there is no link between the countries' registration databases. but I am told that I have to pay import duty I don't think that this is correct. If you have a used car that you have driven in the UK before you move to spain you do not have to pay the duties. But you do have to re-register it. If you are importing a newly built car you save the taxes in the UK but pay the ones in the country you export to (this rule is to stop locals avoiding their own country's tax by nipping over the border to buy a new car) and that I can only keep a British registed car in Spain for a maximum of 12 months. If this is correct you are lucky, for most countries it is six. tim |
