N.O.S. Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 OK I might nit be the brightest spark, but I've followed the advice on https://www.gov.uk/importing-vehicles-into-the-uk and jumped from section 4 - vehicles from outside EU - which looks like: to the lower link, which gives me: Well yes - but I'm not importing a vehicle from within the EU…. :help: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bawtrylwt Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 You usually pay the vat before they will release the vehicle from the port . On ww2 vehicles you can pay the lower rate of 5% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 N.O.S. Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 That's right, thanks. I've paid VAT prior to release at port and have the receipt, but I'm trying to comply with the specific requirement to notify HMRC of the import of the vehicle. Or have I already somehow done that? :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 N.O.S. Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) So - does my receipt for VAT payment form the only HMRC evidence DVLA require for registration? I don't want to start paying penalties for not notifying HMRC within the 14 day deadline. It would be helpful if the website made this clear - it seems to suggest that wherever the vehicle comes from a notification via NOVA is required. I see a phone call to HMRC looming on Monday.

0 Tony B Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 There can be exemptions. When I brought Katy in from Jersey, non EU and subject to VAT, I was charged nothing. As she was an inhertiance, and I'd technically owned for one year (Probate in Jersey is a year and a day) Customs decleared her my private property, no VAT liability, have a safe journey.
