I thought about it, but the 20% VAT and 6% Sales tax on arrival in UK, doesnt make it worth while >:(
Are you a UK citizen , been living in the USA and new relocating back home ?
They should not charge you taxes for your belonging, but i am just asking i do not know ..... i am surprised.
how long have you been owning the bike for ?
If the bike is in your name , registered ,insured etc, why would they charge you tax fee ?
I shipped a motorcycle to Italy that was in my possession, registered and insured for over 6 months and because of that , i did not get charged tax fee ( Iva )
Also how do they charge you tax on a used bike ? are they going to use KBB and estimate the value of the bike ?
Anyway ,sorry about that.
cheers
