Shipping your vehicle to Germany
Shipping your vehicle to Germany Shipping your vehicle to Germany There are a lot of rules when it comes to shipping your car to Germany
Moving from a GCC country to Europe or UK?
You can save money when moving your car, motorcycle or any other vehicle(s) along as a part of your household goods.
Europe and UK customs allows a full exemption of import duties (Customs and VAT) which on an average could save you up to 30% of your car value and almost 50% as compared to buying a similar vehicle in your home country. There are various import tax exemption laws in place that could result in major savings, but the trick is to be able to take advantage of them.
Generally, the customs tax is 10% on the value of the car and then there is VAT which ranges from 16% to 22% depending on each country but this can be exempted if you’re relocating and save you that chunk of money in taxes.
It’s actually very economical to ship your car from GCC rather than buying a new one back there or even expect a better resale of the car in Europe/UK. There are not many restrictions in terms of which cars can be shipped. Although, you may not be able to sell the car for a year after importing with the tax-free tag, you could decide to sell the car by paying the full import taxes if it is within that time frame.
However, for tax free relocations, additional set of documents are required –
