I tried back in 2009 but gave up as I had to bring it back before a 12 month periode to avoid paying a truck load of taxes.

Hi Ritch888,

Did you manage to transport your vehicle to SL without paying so much tax?

Would you be able to help as I am looking to transport a car to SL.

Kind regards

Arjuna,

No I dropped that idea as it was a complicated matter but, not tried since the new leadership. Not sure whether the rules have changed or not. P.S. I have moved away from the UK and won’t be looking into this anymore.

Kind regards
