Does anyone know if a van is taxed it the same rate as a car on import, or as a commercial vehicle it is taxed

on a different rate

Dont think you are allowed a commercial vehicle here unless you are in business or cypriot, so best check this out first as things do change all the time here, but I am sure someone will put the books straight on this.

enquiring on behalf of someone who is moving here,i think that they want to bring personal goods over then take it back to UK or import it if possible if the business plan works out.He is a corgi registered plumber

I think he could find a lot of work,if only fixing all the mistakes

They can import it for personal use.If not changed,the max age is 12 years.Taxing is also cheaper then a car.

However,with residency permit,they do not need to pay the import tax right away.30 days on arrival and 2 lots of 6 months extensions,why not wait for 13 months and then pay the duties.But,if thats what you decide to do,do please make sure you have years valid UK road tax as it would be more expensive here.(Silly,but I dont make these rules)

If you need any more info(0533 873 9181)Do not know all of by head but can find out.



Good luck.(I dont beleive in it as we make our own destiny)
